Agency Tool Company provides a specialized deployment platform designed for robotics, enabling software updates to be delivered to field robots up to 20 times faster than traditional Docker pulls. The system transmits only the changed bytes and automatically resumes interrupted transfers, addressing critical reliability issues in remote or unstable network environments. This solution directly targets the bottleneck between lab development and real-world robot operations, offering a robotics-native alternative to generic deployment tools. It is already in use with three launch partners spanning agriculture, construction, and logistics robotics.
The company’s second product, ATC Build, delivers continuous integration capabilities tailored for embedded hardware, allowing developers to test and validate software on actual target devices such as Nvidia Jetson modules, Raspberry Pi, and other common robotics platforms. Founded by veterans of Scythe Robotics, who successfully deployed autonomous mowers nationwide, Agency Tool Company was created to solve the infrastructure challenges they encountered firsthand. The platform aims to streamline the entire lifecycle of robot software from development to field deployment.
