About
Optimotive is a Canadian robotics engineering company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Windsor, Ontario. The company builds an advanced robotic workforce designed to automate operations in extreme, outdoor, and challenging environments — including construction sites, large-scale infrastructure, and solar operations. Optimotive's product lineup includes IRIS (autonomous outdoor robot for data capture), Box (robot operations automation platform), and Scrubbles (a construction site cleaning robot). The company is focused on enabling automation in environments too muddy, dusty, or hazardous for standard robotics. Optimotive's solutions are deployed by major construction and development firms including EllisDon, Lafarge, and Borea, and the company has raised $2 million in venture funding from groups in San Francisco and Waterloo. Optimotive was founded by CEO Scott M. Fairley and operates at the intersection of field robotics, computer vision-based localization, and autonomous mobility.
