Torc Robotics Company Overview

Torc Robotics has a rich, 10+ year history in developing autonomous vehicles. Learn about how we've transformed mining and construction machines for worker safety, implemented driverless technology on military vehicles to assist warfighters, and returned to our DARPA Urban Challenge roots with Asimov, our latest self-driving car project.
This video features Torc founders and team members that have been with our company from the beginning of our journey as technology pioneers in the first autonomous car challenges. They discuss the birth of the self-driving car industry and the decade of progress that has followed, as we work toward making transportation safer and more efficient for everyone.
About Torc
Torc Robotics is an autonomous vehicle technology firm that has developed a complete self-driving system for consumer automobiles. Its self-driving car technology is based on commercially proven systems that Torc has developed over the past decade for safety-critical situations such as mining and
defense.
The Torc team is passionate about robotics and is dedicated to making the world safer and more accessible through its autonomous systems, according to Michael Fleming, CEO and co-founder.
Torc first established itself as a leader in autonomous vehicles in 2007, when its vehicle placed third in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Urban Challenge, a ~60 mile course which required vehicles to travel through on and off-road environments autonomously and navigate through situations like parking lots, road blocks, and merging while obeying traffic laws.
While many members of the other winning teams joined Google’s autonomous driving project, Torc retained 85 percent of its talent. Since then, Torc has continuously improved upon its technology-successfully applying it to a variety of commercial ground vehicles, from large mining trucks to military vehicles.
“We have been developing our autonomous systems and have resolved issues in hazardous environments with no or little pavement. Applying our technology to the safer, engineered paths of modern roads is a logical step,” Fleming says.
“We have been waiting for the time when it would be feasible to apply to consumer cars,” Fleming says. “That time is now.”
***********************
Torc Robotics is an autonomous vehicle industry leader. Since 2007, our team has been commercializing self-driving technology across multiple fields. Today, we’re creating life-saving software for self-driving semi-trucks alongside our partner, Daimler Truck. Together, we’re changing the way the long-haul freight industry looks forward.
