Realtime Robotics
Boston-based motion planning software company founded 2016; RapidPlan and Resolver products enable autonomous collision-free path planning for multi-robot.
Realtime Robotics is a Boston, Massachusetts-based software company founded in 2016 by Duke University professors George Konidaris and Dan Sorin, together with researchers Sean Murray and Will Floyd-Jones, building on DARPA-funded research in real-time motion planning. The company develops autonomous motion planning software for industrial robots, enabling multi-robot workcells to operate at maximum efficiency without manual reprogramming.
The company's flagship product, RapidPlan, delivers fast, collision-free path planning that adapts in real time as the environment changes. RapidPlan evaluates up to 800,000 candidate motions at 30 frames per second, allowing robots to continue operating safely even when workers or obstacles enter the workcell — eliminating the need for safety fencing in many human-robot collaborative configurations. It integrates with major industrial robot controller brands.
The second major product, Resolver, is a cloud-based path planning and AI optimization tool that accelerates design and deployment of robotic workcells. Resolver enables engineers to solve for optimized cycle times, interlocks, and multi-robot task allocation in hours rather than weeks. It integrates with Siemens Process Simulate and other digital twin platforms for virtual commissioning.
Realtime Robotics holds 53 awarded patents and 20 unique invention disclosures. The company has raised $107 million in total funding, including a Series B round led by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced in May 2024, which also established a strategic technology collaboration. Earlier investors include Sparx Group, Toyota AI Ventures, and Scrum Ventures.
Headquartered at 27 Wormwood St, Suite 110, Boston, MA 02210, the company employs approximately 51-200 people and maintains offices in Tokyo, Japan and Berlin, Germany. It is a member of A3 (Association for Advancing Automation).
