The future is already here.
It's just not evenly distributed yet.

Founded in 2017, Formant is the leading cloud-based platform for managing fleets of heterogeneous robots. Formant’s platform enables companies to operate, observe, and analyze robots from anywhere, meeting the growing need of robotics companies looking to deploy into new environments and scale their fleets.

We are inspired by the unique opportunities and challenges of connecting robots to each other, people and the cloud. We believe that more effective infrastructure can help unlock the shared potential of humans and robots and accelerate the successful deployment of autonomous systems throughout society.

As a team, we value humility, honesty, and creativity. We have a friendly, remote culture full of people from diverse backgrounds. We’re small but growing rapidly and just closed our Series A.
