Formant
"The cloud robotics platform for business"
San Francisco cloud robotics software company founded 2016; its platform tracks fleet operations, teleoperation, and AI monitoring for 644 client organizations.
Formant is a San Francisco-based software company founded in 2016 that builds a cloud platform for managing fleets of robots across industries and hardware types. The platform sits above individual robots to provide fleet management, remote teleoperation, mission tasking, incident review, and operational analytics for organizations running robots in the field.
In 2025, Formant introduced F3, a version of its platform built around generative AI and agentic reasoning that the company positions as an operating layer for physical AI, adding natural-language robot control and automated flagging of operational issues on top of its existing fleet-management and teleoperation tools. Formant reports that customer deployments on the platform have logged close to two million robot operating hours and identified more than 32 million discrete operational events. The company's published case studies include deployments with BP, Burro, Hullbot, and Cala.
Formant states that its platform is in production use across 644 client organizations. The company's web presence moved from formant.io to formant.ai during its shift toward positioning the platform around physical AI infrastructure.
