We use the power of robotics to move the world 
From childhood robots to a vision for the future of human-robot interaction
Beginnings
From early childhood, Cobot founder Brad Porter had a passion for building robots, RC planes and helicopters. His passion and curiosity led him to pursuing Bachelor and Master of Engineering in Computer Science at MIT.
Deploying robotics and ai platforms at scale
At Amazon, Brad became robotics industry leader by deploying over 500k robots as VP of Robotics and Distinguished Engineer. There he caught a glimpse of a future with hundreds of thousands of robots working in symphony with humans. After Amazon, Brad saw an opportunity to accelerate more ubiquitous autonomy through better data and tooling, leading him to join Scale AI as CTO.
Founding Collaborative Robotics
Experiencing the forefront of robotics and AI technology, Brad saw a vision for a new type of collaborative robot, working alongside humans in every field from manufacturing to logistics to agriculture to municipal services to healthcare to hospitality to everyday chores, that will transform our world. With the vision, in 2022 Collaborative Robotics was founded and Brad assembled a founding team including Jane Mooney and Steph Tryphonas.
