We believe that great technology should benefit everyone. The team at Nuro is accelerating a future where robots make life easier and help us connect to the people and things we love. Together, we're pushing the boundaries of robotics to improve human life.
Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu have devoted their careers to robotics and machine learning, most recently as Principal Engineers at Google's self-driving car project (now Waymo). They founded Nuro in 2016 to harness the power of robotics and artificial intelligence to solve new challenges at a global scale.
Our vehicle is a fully autonomous, on-road vehicle designed to transport goods quickly, safely, and affordably.
With no driver or passengers to worry about, our vehicle has been engineered from the ground up to keep what's outside even safer than what's inside.
Efficient, electric, and fully autonomous, it delivers life's needs at a price anyone can afford.
