Viam is a robotics software platform that helps engineers build, deploy, and manage robotic applications across the full lifecycle, from early prototypes to global fleets. Its tools let developers write application logic using SDKs for Python, Go, and TypeScript, while hardware and services are accessed through well-defined APIs. The platform also provides a registry for drivers and machine-learning models, along with built-in motion and vision capabilities.

Viam is designed to simplify robotics development by handling infrastructure such as integration, networking, and remote access, so teams can focus on how their robots move, perceive, and operate. Cloud-based fleet management supports monitoring, alerts, remote control, and fleet-wide access security. Teams can also deliver software and machine-learning updates over the air, test changes with canary releases, and roll back versions when needed. The same application code can scale without a complete rewrite or migration. Viam also offers SurfaceAI, a robotic finishing solution for custom manufactured parts that adapts to each part and learns the finishing process over time.
