Hardware is complex but wheel.me makes autonomous robots reliable, scalable and genius
- Wheel.me, a Norwegian start-up has successfully transformed any object into an autonomous mobile robot.
- The company's first product was a pop-up wheel that could be integrated into the legs of furniture.
- Wheel.me then shifted its focus onto the robotic platform which is currently being used by more than 30 major customers in the US and Europe.

- Genius is connected to a backend hosted on AWS cloud and is currently being used by the automotive manufacturing industry.
- Wheel.me is also using AI for data stack for object recognition, smarter navigation, path planning, and predictive maintenance.
- Wheel.me is expanding its team in the US and Europe, with plans to expand its operations in Asia.
