On the surface, everything about AvaWatz sounds like something out of a science fiction movie. Through the use of decision intelligence, the company’s platform allows robots to collaborate and work together to accomplish tasks. AvaWatz recently launched on Wefunder, which means anyone can invest in AvaWatz for a limited time.

Dubbed “cobots” by the company, these robots are designed to help companies work with more efficiency and speed without compromising quality or safety. The end result is cost and time savings.

AvaWatz Takes On Tedious, High-Risk Tasks
Even in today’s world of advanced technology, many companies in a variety of industries rely on humans to complete tedious, high-risk tasks. But this approach can have both safety and financial implications.
Consider airport and airfield regulators who are tasked with inspecting runways several times per day to identify and remove debris. If they miss even one object it could result in a fatal accident.
With the help of AvaWatz, this doesn’t have to be a concern. AvaWatz’s Wefunder page touches on this use case:
“Finding and removing Foreign Object Debris from runways before it causes a catastrophic accident is a good example of the kind of problem that AvaWatz intends to solve. A small drone can detect a debris fragment and report its location, and a ground-based robot can go and remove the fragment, and it seems fairly simple to implement that solution. But we can save much time and not stop to recharge batteries if we use multiple drones to inspect the runway, station multiple ground robots along the runway and send the nearest robot to remove the debris. This kind of teamwork calls for complex reasoning and group decision-making, and it is this kind of group decision-making that the AvaWatz platform enables.”
Without the AvaWatz platform, you have one drone or a group of drones acting independently. With the platform’s help, these drones can be transformed into a team of cobots that work together to complete the task at hand. Rather than the two hours it takes, on average, to detect and remove airfield debris, the AvaWatz team is working to reduce the total time to 20 minutes.
Founded in 2021 by Rajini Anachi, AvaWatz has raised more than $1 million, received $2 million-plus in research and development funding from the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security and has a current sales pipeline of more than $13 million. This is in addition to working prototypes used by the U.S. Air Force and Army. Click here to invest in AvaWatz.
