By acquiring READY Robotics’ automation IP, we’re able to accelerate the development of our AI-powered platform, and further our mission to improve accessibility in the robotics space.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve acquired the intellectual property of READY Robotics, the celebrated creator of robot-agnostic operating systems. This IP purchase includes all of the software, patents, and trademarks owned by READY Robotics.
Following this purchase, we plan to bring our intuitive user interface and forthcoming AI platform to other robot makers, as well as NVIDIA Omniverse. In addition, we will make READY’s unified APIs (which allow for the control of all major robot brands) more widely available.
This acquisition marks a pivotal moment for Standard Bots. The READY team over many years wrote some amazing software - a unified API that talks to every major robot brand. With this acquisition, I’m more excited than ever about what we’ll be able to offer the market in the coming months.

Building on a legacy of industrial innovation
Before READY Robotics ceased operations last month, the eight-year-old startup had raised over $40 million to push the boundaries of industrial robotics. In a testament to their innovative spirit and technical expertise, READY partnered with companies like Toyota and NVIDIA to develop and deploy its ForgeOS across the country. We share READY’s commitment to innovation and will continue to build on the company’s valuable and cutting-edge work.
Standard Bots' achievement in developing groundbreaking robotics and AI technology right here in the U.S. has been truly inspiring, and I am excited to see how Standard Bots will continue to democratize the robotics space using READY Robotics' technology. I firmly believe that Standard Bot's goal of empowering developers to more easily use robots is essential in moving the industry forward.

A collaborative and accessible future for robotics
We’re now in the process of integrating READY’s IP into our operations and gearing up for a global release. READY’s drivers, developed and built over the past seven years, will be instrumental to powering our new AI products.
In line with our dedication to innovation and accessibility, we plan to leverage READY’s work to offer a unified API and UI that developers can build upon to create bespoke robotics applications.
The launch of this platform will represent a leap forward in our commitment to fostering creativity and collaboration in the robotics space.
By offering a unified API, UI, and AI platform for developers that works across every robot brand, we’re not just growing our company—we’re elevating the entire field.
