Our story

From engineering principles
to a deployable product.

Cacti was formed to turn years of real-world robotics research into a deployable product.

The founding team worked together for over four years in The Nuclear and Applied Robotics Lab at The University of Texas at Austin, where they researched and developed a wearable-first command, control, and supervision system under DoW research funding. Throughout the research they demonstrated the technology working with eight different robotic platforms and multiple mixed-reality headsets in the field. The platform has been demonstrated live for multiple U.S. Army organizations and defense partners.
