Municipal Robotics
Only 2 pilot slots remaining for Winter 2026

Autonomous sidewalk clearing. Zero labor cost.

Deploy rovers that clear 50 miles of sidewalk per night. No crews. No overtime. No 3AM callouts.

The Problem

Snow removal is broken.

Municipalities spend millions on manual labor while pedestrians face dangerous conditions.

$14B
spent annually on snow removal in the US
$960
per day for a 4-person manual crew
$1B+
reserved annually for slip-and-fall liability
The Human Cost

1 million slip-and-fall injuries per year.

Icy sidewalks send people to the emergency room. Lawsuits cost municipalities millions. Clear sidewalks save lives and budgets.

Coverage

50 miles cleared per night.

Three rovers working in parallel clear an entire neighborhood before the morning commute.

The Solution

The math works.

How It Works

Fully autonomous operation.

Deploy once. The rover handles the rest.

360° LiDAR Vision

Livox Mid-360 scans at 200k points/sec. 1.5m safety radius with automatic e-stop. Pure geometry, no ML in the safety path.

RTK GPS Navigation

Centimeter-accurate positioning using HD maps. Define coverage areas once, the rover follows optimal paths automatically.

All-Weather Operation

Built for snow. Operates in active snowfall, adapts speed to conditions. 4-8 hour runtime with hot-swap battery packs.

Modular Attachments

Hot-swap tools via CAN bus. Snow auger, salt spreader, plow blade. Each tool has its own MCU for plug-and-play operation.

Why Muni

Built different.

Fully Open Source

All firmware, CAD files, schematics, and documentation on GitHub under MIT/Apache 2.0. No vendor lock-in. Build your own for ~$5k.

Safety-First Design

Multi-layer safety: LiDAR detection, watchdog timer, automatic e-stop on connection loss. Rate limiting prevents dangerous commands. No ML in safety path.

Real Engineering

Production-grade Rust firmware. Jetson Orin NX compute with 30 TOPS AI. 4-wheel skid-steer platform tested in real Cleveland winters.
