About BlueBotics

Swiss firm BlueBotics develops and licenses ANT (Autonomous Navigation Technology) – a natural feature navigation system for AGVs, forklifts, and mobile robots – enabling accurate, infrastructure-light automation. With over 6,000 vehicles deployed and 2,000+ installations, they differentiate through ease of installation (days vs. weeks) and scalability to fleets of 300. Key customers include Esatroll, F3-Design, ABB, and Toyota’s Bastian Solutions, and they’ve expanded distribution to China and Japan. Founded as an EPFL spin-off in 2001, BlueBotics remains privately held.
