Shipping & Receiving Associate

FORT brings together the best technologists who have spent their careers working to solve the most complex and dangerous aspects of robotics.

The company was founded in 2018 by Samuel Reeves, who spent the previous decade making landmine clearance safer through robotics. During this time, Reeves realized that secure communications - considered core infrastructure elsewhere in technology - didn't exist for robots in fields like construction, agriculture, warehousing, or elsewhere.

FORT was founded to create a first-of-its-kind Robotics Control Platform (RCP) to empower companies with unique tools to ensure robots cause no harm.
