GrayMatter Robotics

Catch us in Detroit for Reindustrialize 2026, the premier gathering for the founders, operators, investors, and policymakers rebuilding American industry.

Two days on what it actually takes to bring manufacturing back at scale, and the role Physical AI plays in getting there.

🗓️ June 16-17
🗣️ Come find us:

🏆 RBR50 recognizes the most significant robotics innovations in the world. And our team is proud to be one of this year's winners (back to back 😎 ).

The team at GrayMatter Robotics has been recognized for their autonomous mobile robot International Aerospace Coatings, where it takes on some of the most physically punishing steps in aircraft finishing. The system works through real conditions of an active hangar: wet floors, debris, aircraft that shift mid-process, without the pristine, fixed setup traditional automation demands.

This is Physical AI doing real work on the factory floor, and it exists because of the engineers, operators, and partners who put it there. 👏

From the worksite to the factory floor. 🏗️

We were proud to welcome the team from Terex Corporation to GrayMatter Robotics HQ in Carson, CA. Terex is a global leader in specialty vehicles and equipment — including the aerial work platforms, cranes, and material handlers that keep job sites moving and workers safe.

Seeing the factory firsthand is part of how we build real partnerships. When the people who build the machines come to see how we work, the conversation changes.

At GMR, our specialty vehicle practice spans ambulances, fire trucks, utility trucks, and the aerial and construction equipment that powers American industry. We're here to help manufacturers build more, build better, and build the vehicles the world depends on.

Thank you to the Terex team for making the trip from Watertown, South Dakota to Carson with Joe Dyer. The doors are always open.

Deep in the heart of Texas 🤠

The GrayMatter Robotics team visited Frazer Ambulance in Houston — one of the nation's leading specialty vehicle manufacturers and a proud partner in equipping first responders across the Lone Star State and beyond.

Frazer builds the ambulances that show up when it matters most. Our mission? Making sure those vehicles are built faster, more consistently, and with the quality that life-saving work demands. Our robot ensures that all ambulances ship with a pristine shine and finish.

GMR's specialty vehicle practice spans ambulances, fire trucks, and utility vehicles — and we're proud to stand behind the manufacturers who stand behind our first responders.

Thank you to the Frazer, Ltd. team for the warm welcome. The best part of this work is seeing the real-world impact on the other side of every robot cell.

Hosted Caterpillar and NVIDIA at GrayMatter Robotics' Innovation Center today. 🚜

On the floor: a Scan&Grind™ cell on its way to a Caterpillar facility. First up in a long-term deployment, with more applications to follow.

Today was a great reminder of how far physical AI has come.

GrayMatter Robotics has been named a 2026 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award winner by The Robot Report🏆

For 15 years, the RBR50 has recognized the world's most innovative robotics companies. Our recognition is rooted in a first for Aerospace MRO: autonomous mobile robotic sanding at International Aerospace Coatings the world's largest commercial, OEM, and military aircraft painting company.

As IAC President Paul Dunphy put it: "There's certainly nobody else in our industry doing this." And it turns out, fortune favors the bold. 👀

This week, GrayMatter Robotics hosted Calibrate Ventures' annual meeting at our innovation center, where Ariyan Kabir showcased what looks like in practice.

We're proud to represent Calibrate's portfolio of companies putting deep tech to work in the real world.
