# Polymath Robotics

> Polymath Robotics builds general autonomy and safety software for off-highway and industrial vehicles (tractors, loaders, dozers, mining trucks). The Synapse REST API commands a real or simulated Polymath-powered robot; the Caladan browser simulator lets teams build and test autonomous behaviors in Python before deploying to physical machines. Founded 2021, Y Combinator S22, San Francisco.

## APIs
