GrayMatter Robotics

GrayMatter Robotics manufactures turnkey autonomous robotic solutions for a broad range of surface finishing applications. Its product portfolio includes SCAN&SAND (for dimensional correction and surface finishing), SCAN&GRIND (for removing materials from a variety of substrates), SCAN&BLAST (for stripping, cleaning, altering, and surface preparation), SCAN&COAT (for distributing uniform gel and powder coating), and SCAN&POLISH (for scratch-free surface finishes). All robots are powered by GrayMatter’s proprietary physics-informed AI, which enables them to self-program and adapt to high-mix, high-variability manufacturing environments. GrayMatter’s customers are in the aerospace, defense, maritime, specialty vehicles, and general manufacturing industries.

The company provides its solutions in a robots-as-a-service (RaaS) model: Rather than selling standalone hardware, GrayMatter bundles its proprietary AI with sensors, tools, and off-the-shelf robots to provide end-to-end, application-specific solutions to its customers. Customers pay an annual subscription fee that covers the hardware, software, and service, which allows for risk-free adoption, swift ROI, and continuous upgrades to the hardware, prompted by machine learning.

“Our autonomous systems can dramatically enhance production line productivity while reducing consumable waste,” says Ariyan Kabir, Co-founder and CEO. “It was important for us to offer a subscription model that allowed any manufacturer—from Fortune 100 companies to SMB operators—to adopt automation that evolves over time and adapts to their changing needs. Plus subscription service is inherently solutions-centric rather than tech-centric, ensuring both the provider and the customer work towards shared outcomes. This focus is designed to help our customers win.”
