Ally at a Glance
A Expert Team of Pathbreakers
Founded by innovative leaders in the robotics and artificial intelligence industry.
Industry Partner: Miso Robotics
Backed by the leader in restaurant automation technology. $30 million in potential revenue already committed.
Ground Breaking Technology
Ally is developing unique hardware and software technologies poised to fill a massive, immediate market need; on a long-term path to democratize robotics.
The World Has Changed
Economic growth in the US and around the globe has lifted more people into the middle class leaving a vast labor shortage in service industries. As educational attainment grows, fewer people entering the labor force are interested these industries. Robotics is a solution, but accessibility to this important technology is limited.
-
A record-high 1 million US workers quit the restaurant industry in 2021
-
In the second half of the 20th century, the size of the US farming workforce shrunk by 52%
-
Construction saw a 650,000 person labor gap in 2022, despite over $1 billion in additional spending
-
Manufacturing is set to have a 2.1 million person labor gap by 2030


Cost must go down for robotics companies to fill the gaps
Most expected robotics and automation to solve the labor shortage, but the robots of today are too expensive, require experts to program, or are primarily designed for industrial applications.
Ally's Hardware
Affordable, reliable hardware, able to be produced for the masses
-
Quasi direct drive actuators 30 percent the cost of traditional actuators.
-
Ally developed novel, lower-cost robotic joints to double torque with minimal velocity loss.
-
Single hand end effector can accommodate the majority of human workflow automation.
-
Designed from day one with manufacturability and affordability in mind; using low-cost materials from prototype to production.


Ally's Software
Intelligent and elegant software, combined with cutting-edge machine learning.
-
Leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence: deep reinforcement learning.
-
No-code programming for real world robotics.
-
Robot uses imitation learning; behaviors and tasks can be trained by anyone through demonstration, similar to a human being.
Restaurants are just the beginning.
With affordable hardware and smart, no-code software, Ally will be poised to deploy our arms among collaborative and service robotics companies for both industrial and non-industrial tasks.
