About us

Here at ViaBot, we're building a robot made to tackle real-world tasks. RUNO is an autonomous mobile robot designed to handle outdoor commercial tasks like sweeping and security. With deployments across the nation and over 800 million square feet cleaned, our aim is to change the way people see robots—not as gimmicks or as one-trick ponies, but as sensible solutions to sizable problems.
