Matic is building autonomous consumer robots for in-home use. We're a small team (65 full-time) led by repeat founders Mehul Nariyawala and Navneet Dalal (author of HOG paper with over 44,000 citations to date).

We bring a user-first mentality to solve existing, real-world problems. We're building robots meant to be incredibly useful first, and cool second!

We've built Matic - A privacy-preserving autonomous home robot

5.5 years ago, we started building an autonomous home robot with these goals:

* Reliable autonomy — no user interventions, it should just work * Everything on device — no cloud storage or compute, robot-to-app data through local WiFi * Usefulness — solve a genuine problem that will impact real people

To achieve this, we * wrote the robot's software stack in Rust * used only RGB cameras and Mics as input — humans can navigate with only these sensors, so why can’t a robot? * developed SLAM and computer vision algorithms that run on-device, in real time, with centimeter-level precision and semantic understanding * gave our robot a purpose — starting with floor cleaning allowing us to develop specialized hardware for vacuuming and mopping w/o chewing up wires or getting stuck.

We're a small team of <60 people singularly focused on building something that we’ve all dreamed about: a mobile indoor robot that solves a real problem without jeopardizing our privacy. We're still developing Matic and iterating, but we’re proud of what we’ve built so far.

Let us know what you'd be interested to learn! We'll also answer questions here and look forward to your feedback :)

Wow, this is really cool. The pricing is way above my budget, but I can see the market for a premium device like this- if it really does what it looks like it does. The “point and tell” demo is particularly amazing.

Great homepage, by the way- makes it very easy to tell what the robot can do (and I appreciated the FAQ).

The $75/month ($900/year) price tag is quite steep, but between the feature set, the intelligence built into the device, and the free repairs and replacements, I think this provides a lot of value for homeowners. I subscribed to your email list. Good luck!
