Decision intelligence for
mobile robots in the real world.
Stateful is enabling the new era of autonomous robotics.
This future requires Stateful decision intelligence. We turn operational requirements into resilient robot behaviour over missions from minutes to weeks
Stateful helps robots perform reliably, productively, and at scale.
Higher Output, Wider Adoption
- Achieves higher reliability, even in dynamic environments
- Continually improves performance by fine-tuning robot behaviours over time
- Handles competing operational demands and requirements, expanding field-of-use
- Scales smoothly from single-robot to multi-robot and human-robot orchestration
Lower Cost, Lower Risk
- Speeds up deployment with intuitive interfaces designed for non-specialists
- Maintains operational safety and reduces downtime with real-time adaptive optimisation
- Builds trust by explaining its decision-making
- Fits into existing workflows with configurable, API-based integration
Stateful translates operational requirements into optimised missions, for any type of robot
1. Define the Mission
- Set targets for throughput, coverage, safety, and other KPIs
- Task via natural language, API or web interface
- Preview expected outcomes and explore trade-offs between productivity, safety, and reliability
- Deploy missions easily to the edge or on the cloud through triggering actions via existing robot APIs
2. Deploy in the Real World
- Execute missions reliably within defined safety policies
- Continuously optimise decisions as environments and conditions change
- Respond autonomously to unexpected situations and constraints
- Provide visibility into future routes, outcomes, and risks
3. Deliver Productivity and Performance
- Learn from execution and improve future mission decisions
- Identify operational bottlenecks and performance constraints across fleets
- Analyse performance with sensitivity testing and scenario modelling
- Adapt as your operations grow, easily adding new robot skills or form factors
The sectors we work in
Energy & Infrastructure
Asset inspection and maintenance schedules can be time-consuming to set up, and hard to maintain or adapt to site conditions. Stateful makes it easy to build and manage intuitive, site-specific workflows that keep your operations running smoothly.
Marine
Changing weather conditions and limited onshore communications can undermine the scope and reliability of autonomous marine missions. Stateful keeps performance high and operational goals on track, even across long missions without a live connection to shore.
Security & Defence
Translating strategic intent into reliable autonomous behaviour is a complex challenge in dynamic, high-risk environments. Stateful bridges that gap, enabling air and ground robots to execute on high-level mission objectives autonomously, while keeping humans out of harm's way.
Warehouse & Retail
Full-scale warehouse automation is out of reach for most operations, yet the pressure to do more with less keeps growing. Stateful helps robot team-mates work more effectively alongside human workers, whether that's checking inventory or helping to move goods.
Mining
Maximising throughput in autonomous haulage means balancing truck assignment, capacity, routing, energy management and safety in real time. Stateful optimises all five: maintaining safety standards and operational efficiency even in the toughest environments.
Construction
Construction sites change constantly, and rigid automation solutions can't keep up. Stateful keeps projects on track with adaptive orchestration that dynamically re-prioritises tasks as conditions and requirements evolve.
Agriculture
Farming is a constant balance between today’s tasks and tomorrow’s conditions. Stateful increases the ROI from automation investments with weather-aware planning that thinks in weeks, not just minutes.
Healthcare
Entrusting non-clinical tasks to robot team-mates requires confidence in their reliability and consistency. Stateful helps build that confidence through explainable AI and built-in performance guarantees.
Industrial
In high-stakes environments, autonomous systems need to have resilience to edge-cases built in. Stateful makes this possible without constant human supervision with adaptive planning that learns on the job.
Logistics & Delivery
Coordinating across different robot types and other automated systems often creates bottlenecks that drag down overall efficiency. Stateful maximises throughput and reduces waiting times across mixed fleets and platforms.
Activating Rapid Proof of Concepts
- Understand your goals, priorities, and success metrics
- Configure the Stateful engine for your environment
- Integrate easily with your robots and systems via API
- Explore outcomes through simulation and real-world testing
Building Long-Term Partnerships
- Deploy and expand across your robot fleets
- Licensing adapts as your operations grow
- Continuously improve performance with shared operational insight
- Build long-term partnerships focused on measurable results
Stateful is a spin-out from the University of Oxford. The founding team has spent more than a decade working on autonomous systems, from quadrupedal robots and underwater vehicles to self-driving cars.
Through this work we have developed deep expertise in helping robots make reliable decisions in complex, unpredictable environments. That expertise now powers the Stateful Performance Engine.
