## About

Founded in 2016 and based in Massachusetts, US, American Robotics, Inc. develops Scout, an automated drone system for the energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and security market verticals. This technology provides cloud-based data sets and insights into vegetation indices, data types, and crop analyses that spot and correct plant stress in the early stage. 

The firm was founded by Carnegie Mellon and Stanford roboticists with a shared vision for bringing robotic technology into the real world. In August 2021, the firm was acquired by Ondas Holdings Inc. for USD 71 million and the deal aims to provide clients in utility, industrial, and agricultural sectors with enhanced communications and internet-of-things (IoT) application capacities in American Robotics drones.
 
The company’s product, Scout systems run missions autonomously, collecting, processing, and analyzing data. The Scout system technology was designed and built for the field to serve the industrial, agricultural, and defense markets. The Scout drones are placed inside a ScoutBase, a weatherproof charging, and a data processing station. Proprietary software and hardware should be helpful to operate the drones without the need for a human pilot.

The company generates its revenue through its Scout systems via Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) as a low-cost subscription.
