Problem
Integrating diverse robotic systems for mobile applications is complex and often requires significant customization and engineering expertise. The cost of buying or building custom robots can be prohibitive, especially for businesses and research departments with limited capital.
Solution
Intermode offers a modular hardware platform, called the Modal, designed to simplify the development and deployment of mobile robots for both indoor and outdoor use. Instead of purchasing or building a robot from scratch, customers can lease a Modal and customize it with their own sensors, compute, and software. Intermode provides expert support, engineering services, and maintenance, allowing customers to focus on their core business or research objectives. The platform's modularity enables a wide range of applications, from delivery and security to research and development.
Target Audience
Intermode targets AV and robotics companies, entrepreneurs, and R&D departments seeking a cost-effective and customizable mobile robotics platform.
