RoadBotics

RoadBotics was spun out of the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute in 2016. Our chief scientist Dr. Christoph Mertz spent several years and significant research dollars at CMU developing a smartphone-enabled road inspection tool for diagnosing road defects. By utilizing the latest technological advances in machine vision and machine learning, the technology had the potential to one-day rapidly identify road issues at a massive scale and an affordable price. Realizing the power of this type of transformative technology, Dr. Mertz, Dr. Mark DeSantis, and Dr. Benjamin Schmidt formed RoadBotics to commercialize the technology. The founders quickly expanded the team with technical and business expertise. For the last several months the team has designed, developed and commercialized a revolutionary product that is transforming road management.
