COAST Autonomous, a provider of autonomous robotic systems, has entered into a strategic partnership with TorqueAGI, a Generative AI startup based in Palo Alto, CA. This collaboration aims to synergistically enhance robotic intelligence for complex tasks in critical industrial and military applications.

COAST provides mobility solutions to move people and goods in industrial environments. COAST has developed a proprietary 6-level Autonomous Robotics system, which is deployed across many sites in the US, such as rail yards, airports, and ports. COAST addresses the challenges posed by dangerous and hazardous environments where labor is costly, scarce, and unsafe.

TorqueAGI contributes its Generative AI technology, which complements COAST’s existing systems. By combining COAST’s expertise in robotic systems with TorqueAGI’s advanced Generative AI technology, both companies are poised to make substantial advancements in the field of industrial robotics.

Pierre Lefevre, CTO of COAST, highlighted the collaborative nature of the partnership: “Our work with TorqueAGI enhances how our robots operate in dynamic industrial settings. This collaboration opens up new opportunities for both COAST and TorqueAGI in the robotics industry by equipping them with an unparalleled level of intelligence.”

By integrating TorqueAGI’s advanced Generative AI technology, COAST’s robots will be better equipped to operate in complex, dynamic industrial settings with enhanced efficiency and intelligence.

Dr. Ashutosh Saxena, a Microsoft Faculty Fellow and Chief AI Advisor at TorqueAGI, expressed enthusiasm about the mutual benefits of the collaboration: “We’re excited to partner with COAST Autonomous, a leader in robotics. Together, we’re creating robots that are now better equipped to operate in complex environments with enhanced efficiency and intelligence.”

The enhanced robots will streamline operations, improve safety, and reduce operational costs for industrial and logistics operators.
