    About Anyware Robotics

    Anyware Robotics deploys multi-purpose mobile robots, equipped with physical AI, to safely and autonomously handle strenuous and repetitive operational tasks. Pixmo, the company’s robot, is designed to autonomously handle boxes for trailer unloading, palletizing, case picking, and trailer loading. Pixmo is powered by AnywareOS, a physical AI software that enables advanced perception and object handling in dynamic, unstructured environments. Pixmo's combination of intelligent software and flexible hardware helps distribution centers and 3PLs reduce labor costs, enhance worker safety, and maintain productivity during labor shortages to deliver a clear return on investment (ROI). We’re a small team with big goals, building robots that make work safer and smarter. If you like solving real problems, deploying robots into production, and seeing your ideas come to life, you’ll fit right in.
