Viam

What Viam does

Viam (Viam, Inc.) is a physical-AI infrastructure company building a software platform for developing, deploying, and managing robotics applications from prototype to fleet scale. Its approach centers on a modular, open, hardware-agnostic architecture that exposes robotics capabilities (e.g., motion planning/control, computer vision, and data capture/sync) through consistent APIs, aiming to let teams write robotic logic using standard software workflows while integrating with diverse hardware and deployments. Viam serves engineers, startups, and enterprises in robotics and automation-adjacent verticals such as manufacturing, marine, logistics, climate tech, and entertainment, and provides both developer tooling (documentation, SDK-style APIs, and an in-platform build/deploy experience) and enterprise-facing platform components (including remote monitoring/management, security/compliance, and fleet-oriented operations).
