About
Viabot is a Santa Clara, California-based robotics company building autonomous outdoor maintenance robots for commercial properties. Its flagship Viabot One (launched as RUNO in 2021) is a self-charging, self-emptying sweeper that cleans parking lots and grounds at retail, office, healthcare, education and utility sites; onboard cameras, lidar and differential GPS also flag loitering or trespassing, paired with human monitoring as an added security service. The company was founded in 2016 by Gregg Ratanaphanyarat and Dawei Ding while they were Penn State undergraduates.
