Reasons to Invest
AvaWatz is an early entrant in the rapidly growing global Robot as a Service (RaaS) market, valued at $12.6B in 2020 and projected to reach $41B by 2028 with a CAGR of 15.9%.*
The AvaWatz platform is fully prototyped and has undergone R&D with both the U.S. Air Force and Department of Homeland Security, generating over $2 million in R&D revenue in just 2.5 years.
The underlying architecture of our robotics technology is easily scalable and can be extended to many other applications, both government and civilian.

A Real-Time Decision-Making "Cobot" Network
Using AI technology, AvaWatz coordinates autonomous air and ground robotic teams to collaboratively carry out tasks that are tedious, repetitive, and unsafe for humans to perform. Whereas existing commercial robots are created to perform single, independent functions, the AvaWatz platform was designed to power an extensive decision-intelligence network of "Cobots" - our collaborative robots - to tackle more complex, multi-step assignments requiring detection, response, and real-time decision-making.
Our first application utilizes camera and other sensors on airborne drones to detect hazardous debris on runways. Once located, the drones will transmit coordinates to a ground crew (and in future service packages, ground-based robots) that will then locate and retrieve the debris.
*Drones shown in video are pre-market prototypes and not currently available on the market.
The potential of our "Cobot" as a Service (CaaS) platform extends far beyond airfields, presenting enormous opportunities across various industrial sectors, such as ground transit and surveillance.
The Problem
Humans Are Still Performing Far Too Many Tedious, High-risk Tasks
Many of today’s industries continue to delegate tedious, time-sensitive, and high-stress responsibilities to humans. Yet in these error-prone environments, mistakes carry significant safety and financial implications.
A prime example is the work of airport and airfield regulators, who must physically inspect runways multiple times each day to identify and remove hazards or debris. These tire fragments, metal shards, and other foreign objects could result in a catastrophic accident if missed.
(source)
With lives potentially at stake and billions lost annually (source), it is apparent that this type of task needs to be automated. Unfortunately, many of today’s robotics are limited to the single, focused task they were optimized for, such as transporting materials or constructing machinery. The world is in need of a new system to execute more nuanced, complex tasks safely and efficiently.
The Solution
A Robotic Collaborative Powered by AI
Our teams of purpose-built air and ground Cobots execute complex tasks in challenging environments through real-time collaboration. AvaWatz software is preinstalled for the specific tasks required. These foundational functions include team navigation, computer vision, information sharing, and group decision-making.
While our pilot prototype detects and retrieves hazardous debris from airport runways and taxiways, our AI platform can be applied to an expansive spectrum of tasks across various industries.
AvaWatz will operate through a recurring revenue subscription model, structured in one- to three-year contracts with tiered support. Operator training, support, and system updates are part of the delivery model for both our RaaS and SaaS services.
Yet, collaboration is not only at the core of our product - it’s also a core value of our company. Giving back to the community is a high priority for AvaWatz, which is why we donate a portion of our revenue to assist with debris pick-up on coastlines.
The Market
Advanced Technologies, Accelerated Market Trends
AvaWatz is an innovative new entrant in the global Robot as a Service (RaaS) market, which was valued at $12.6B in 2020 and is projected to reach $41B by 2028 (source). Our initial target market includes smart airports, ground transit assets, and surveillance. The smart airports market and global ground transit market are expected to reach $25B and $634B by 2025 (source, source), while the video surveillance market is projected to hit $21B by 2026 (source).
In each of these markets, we’re seeing rapid adoption of advanced technologies such as autonomous mobile robots, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing, a trend that has only been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic (source).
Our focus on building teams of unmanned robotic vehicles rather than standalone machines sets us apart from others in the space. Unlike companies such as Locus Robots and Badger Technologies, AvaWatz’s AI platform will allow for collaboration between multiple robots, each outfitted with individualized and complementary capabilities. We consider drone and ground robot manufacturers such as Skydio and Boston Dynamics as potential partners rather than competitors, presenting opportunities to advance the field as a whole.
Our Traction
Prototyped and Ready for Commercial Applications
Our AI platform is now fully prototyped and has been pilot-tested in an operational environment. We’ve had two phases of prototypes released to the U.S. Air Force over the last two years, including our surveillance versions, which were also contracted out to the Department of Homeland Security.
Our ongoing product R&D with the U.S. Air Force provides us with the credibility and confidence to approach further customers, while outfitting us with a clear understanding of operational requirements.
*Drones shown in video are pre-market prototypes and not currently available on the market.
From here, we’re targeting regional and private airports in the US starting in summer 2022 as we continue to develop enhanced computer vision and decision-action sharing between networked Cobots.
Why Invest
Advancing the Frontier in Team-based Mobile Robotics
AvaWatz is working to build a future where teams of Cobots will collaborate the same way humans do. Our novel solution targets an unserved market, advancing the frontier in mobile robotics to open up a new world of opportunities.
Join us as we explore this high-impact area of technology and assist in developing the next era of robotics.
