About
A deep-tech engineering company at the intersection of circuits and code.
Slate&Arc designs, manufactures and programs robotic systems that solve real industrial problems. We build custom robots, train ML models, and deploy computer vision systems for any application.
From the first PCB schematic to the final deployed ML model, everything is built in-house by the same team. We are a general-purpose robotics and AI engineering company that can take on any challenge requiring intelligent machines.
Our edge is integration. A single team that speaks both circuits and code means every decision is made with the full system in mind. Nothing is lost in translation.
Six principles that drive every build, every decision, every deployment.
We start in the field. The real problem is almost always different from the assumed one. We find out before designing anything.
We don't outsource the hard parts. PCB, chassis, firmware, model, all ours. We can fix anything end to end.
Every system has a learning loop from day one, not bolted on later. Data is the real product, not the robot.
Shortcuts in hardware cost weeks to undo. We take the extra day to get the schematic right.
Designed for real operating conditions. Our systems work in environments where imported solutions fail.
We are early. We say so. We share what we are building and learning. Honest communication builds trust.
Most robotics companies are either a hardware company that outsources software, or a software company that outsources hardware. The gap between those two sides is where most projects fail.
At Slate&Arc, the same people who designed the PCB write the ROS 2 navigation stack and train the vision model.
No external hardware vendors. No outsourced ML teams. One integrated process from schematic to field.
When hardware and software are the same team, problems are solved in hours, not weeks across vendor handoffs.
Every deployment generates training data. Every retraining improves the product automatically.
Our operational datasets come from real deployments. They cannot be downloaded or replicated. They are our competitive moat.
