# Polymath Robotics

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/polymath/  
**Website:** https://www.polymathrobotics.com/  
**APIs profiled:** 10

Polymath Robotics builds general autonomy and safety software for off-highway and industrial vehicles such as tractors, loaders, dozers, and mining trucks. Its Synapse REST API lets developers command a real or simulated Polymath-powered vehicle: sending GPS and relative waypoints, issuing motion and vehicle commands, reading combined autonomy, navigation, and vehicle feedback, managing exclusive teleoperation control leases, and streaming media over LiveKit. Caladan, its browser-based simulation environment, lets teams build and test autonomous behaviors in Python without ROS, Gazebo, or Linux before deploying to physical machines. Founded in 2021 (YC S22), San Francisco.
