Viam

Viam is a software platform for building, deploying and managing robotics applications. It lets engineers write control logic using SDKs in Python, Go, C++ and TypeScript against well defined APIs for hardware and services, and treat physical machines as a single fleet managed from the cloud. The platform covers the robotics lifecycle. Data management collects, stores and queries sensor data and telemetry. Fleet management provides remote monitoring and access control without a VPN, over the air updates for software and machine learning models, and canary testing with rollbacks. The AI and data tooling lets teams train and deploy computer vision and other ML models to edge devices, and built in motion and vision services handle common tasks. A modular registry offers drivers and ML models that can be reused, or teams can build their own modules in any language. Viam also sells SurfaceAI, a packaged robotic finishing system for high precision sanding and surface finishing of custom manufactured parts, with robotic arms, tools, integrated vacuums, site installation and ongoing support. It is aimed at manufacturers on high mix factory floors. Pricing differs by offering. The developer platform is free to start with no credit card, and usage based pricing applies after the first $5 per month of cloud services. Published rates include $0.25 per GB per month for tabular data, $0.05 per GB per month for non tabular data storage, $0.15 per GB for cloud upload, $0.25 per GB for egress and $0.0025 per second of standard compute. Robotic surface finishing solutions are priced by contact, based on part size, volume and facility.
