About the company
At Scaffold, we are building the robotics infrastructure for the unstructured outdoors.
Across the globe, resource collection industries such as forestry are faced with rising demands for more sustainable and
precise techniques despite experiencing serious labor shortages, a strong inability to attract talent
and plateauing productivity. Such industries deploy heavy equipment in the harshest earthly environment there is:
the outdoors.
By upgrading current machinery with advanced AI perception and navigation systems, we enable
them to map their surroundings and operate autonomously.
Robots are accurate and precise, and as we equip operators with their skills, we will help enable precision management
of our clients' operations.
We are a highly energetic team with deep experience in field robotics and computer vision, with projects spanning underwater
robotics to space rover design.
We would love to hear from you if you have any questions, thoughts or suggestions. Shoot us an email, any time. We'll be here to help.
Onwards!
