Why Waypoint?
Waypoint CEO and Co-Founder Jason Walker has always loved building and working on robots – he just can’t help it. Throughout his career he has helped develop a wide array of robotic innovations, from the Roomba to specialized drone technology.
But in his pursuit of building intelligent machines, he found himself at an ethical crossroads – how could he continue creating robots while people are worrying about these same robots taking jobs?
The answer:
Design autonomous mobile robots FOR the workforce so they can be included in the automation revolution. Waypoint robots are technologically accessible in every way, which has resulted in an empowered workforce with new skills and increased job satisfaction. Workers across industries are now able to make Waypoint robots do dull, dangerous, or dirty tasks so they can spend more time doing the interesting, engaging, and valuable parts of their job for which they are uniquely qualified!
