Antmicro

Antmicro is a Polish engineering company, active since 2009, known for its open-source approach to hardware: it develops tools, platforms and R&D services for advanced electronics, with robotics and drones one of its pillars alongside Edge AI.

Its portfolio includes robotic products and edge-AI systems built on NVIDIA Jetson platforms, which puts the company closer to integrators and developer-tool providers than to makers of ready-made robots for retail sale.

That sets it apart from firms such as ASTOR, which distribute ready-made industrial arms from well-known brands: Antmicro works instead at the intersection of software, reference hardware and customer-commissioned projects.

Its strength is the openness of its code and platforms, which eases integration at technology partners; its weakness is the lack of a single flagship robotic product reaching the end user directly. The company has operated on the Polish market from the start, so availability in the country is not a barrier.
