Hermes Robotics
Hermes Robotics builds autonomy retrofit kits that enable existing street and parking lot sweeping vehicles to operate fully autonomously at low speeds. The company has retrofitted NiteHawk Raptor, Masco, and Tymco 600 sweepers, initially targeting parking lots as a faster go-to-market before expanding to street cleaning. The system has been demonstrated at Vandenberg Space Force Base in collaboration with AFWERX and the US Air Force.
