Squishy Robotics was among the recipients of the inaugural “Good Robot” Industry Awards presented by the non-profit industry association, Silicon Valley Robotics (SVR). The SVR Industry Awards celebrate the robotics, automation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) that will help the world solve global challenges.

Blueforce Development Corporation develops software that shares and disseminates data among people, systems, and machines. Helping people form secure workgroups using mobile devices, Blueforce (which is based in Newburyport, MA) has built a customer base among military, homeland security, law enforcement, and emergency response personnel.

Michelle Quinn, Voice of America’s Silicon Valley Bureau Chief, interviewed company CEO Dr. Alice Agogino and published this video news piece that explains how technology that was first designed for space exploration is now assisting and protecting first responders.

Gabriel Graveline, Tulsa Fire Department (TFD) firefighter, paramedic, and robotics team leader for the department’s unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) program shared these pictures of our HazMat sensor robots on location in Oklahoma.

Squishy Robotics was highlighted in a National Science Foundation (NSF) video. This latest video, Research to the Rescue: 4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn’t Hear About, illustrates how NSF funding has helped advance technologies that show promise for disaster mitigation.

With the start of the 2020-2021 academic year, Squishy Robotics welcomed eight UC Berkeley Master of Engineering (MEng) students to our engineering team. Typically, MEng students apply to different UC Berkeley-affiliated companies or laboratories to work as interns to gain industry experience as part of their one-year master’s program.
