About OffWorld

OffWorld is a robotics company developing autonomous machines for mining and work in demanding environments. Its approach centers on fleets of rugged robots that can perform tasks where conventional equipment may face hazardous, remote, or difficult operating conditions, including mining applications on Earth and concepts for future off-world resource operations. OffWorld describes a family of robotic systems for activities such as surveying, excavation, material collection, hauling, and site preparation. The machines are designed to work as coordinated units, using sensing, navigation, and automation to carry out industrial tasks with reduced reliance on continuous human presence at the work site. The company also works on technologies for processing and extracting useful materials from mined resources. Mining operators and organizations exploring autonomous industrial robotics can look to OffWorld for technologies aimed at safer, more continuous, and more automated operations. Its work connects field robotics, resource extraction, and remote operations, with a long-term vision of applying autonomous mining systems in harsh terrestrial locations and, potentially, lunar environments.
