Robotics Field Engineer

About the Company

Balyo is a world-wide leader in Autonomous Guide Vehicles (AGV’s) for industrial material handling. We’ve grown from our start-up days, but retain our start-up culture and mentality to move fast and deliver innovative technological and operational solutions to our customers. With headquarters in Paris and satellite offices in Singapore, China and Woburn, MA, USA, we are able to deliver and install robots in almost every market around the world.

Technological leadership

Our AGVs rely on top notch technology to navigate and transport products. SLAM and detection algorithms support the LiDAR and 3D cameras to provide accurate navigation and pallet recognition, respectively. We hold numerous patents and are continuously innovating to maintain and extend our position of technological leader in the market. As an example, we recently commissioned a system which handled the putaway and retrieval of one ton loads to a height of over 55’ (17m); a world record!
