Ottopia, an Israeli startup, has developed a remote assistance platform that uses teleoperation software for human operators to monitor fleets of autonomous vehicles and provide guidance when they run into complex and unpredictable safety situations. This technology has been deployed by Serve Robotics, an Uber-backed company that makes sidewalk delivery robots, in order to help with the deployment of their robots. The software can be installed on robotaxis, roboshuttles, autonomous trucks and machines, and last-mile delivery robots. Serve is paying Ottopia an undisclosed sum for using its teleoperation software.
