Headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts with offices in Arlington and Dayton, it employs mostly cleared technical staff and competes for work against the federally funded research centres and other defence laboratories.

Zoox is an American autonomous vehicle company founded in 2014 that designs a purpose-built robotaxi rather than retrofitting an existing car. Its vehicle has no steering wheel or driver position, seats four passengers facing each other, drives equally well in either direction and was developed alongside the sensors, compute and software that operate it, which required the company to certify the design under its own self-certification of federal motor vehicle safety standards. Amazon acquired the company in 2020 and it has since begun public robotaxi service in Las Vegas and San Francisco while testing in several other American cities.

Saronic Technologies is an American company founded in 2022 that builds autonomous surface vessels for the United States Navy and allied forces, on the argument that large crewed warships are too few and too expensive to be risked in contested waters. Its vessels range from small attritable craft to larger autonomous ships, and it develops both the hulls and the autonomy software rather than integrating third-party systems. Headquartered in Austin with a shipyard under development on the Gulf coast, it has raised very large rounds quickly, reflecting how urgently the American Navy wants uncrewed maritime capacity.

Humanoid is a British robotics company founded in 2024 that is developing general-purpose humanoid robots for industrial and logistics work. Its argument for a human form is practical rather than aesthetic: warehouses, factories and buildings were designed around human reach, stride and grip, so a robot shaped like a person can be deployed without rebuilding the environment around it. Headquartered in London and backed by venture investors, it is developing both a wheeled and a bipedal platform and competes with considerably better-funded American and Chinese efforts in the same field.
