Rivers Agile Launches a Deep Tech Innovation Center

Why the New Innovation Center?

The initiative to establish an innovation center stems from a dual mission. The center provides testing and prepares autonomous solutions for successful commercialization and deployment. It also serves as a hub for advancing the company’s technology, including building data models specific to oil and gas and redefining the standard of safety inspections applied within their patented XR platform, Tupelo, as well as other emerging technologies set for release.

“The decision to create the innovation center was easy to make. We need room to advance our Tupelo and Dandelion technologies without restriction. Through this advancement, we are better prepared to provide crucial consulting services needed by members of the Pittsburgh robotics cluster and other deep tech innovators in the region.” — Ben Wilson, CEO of Rivers Agile

The new center is equipped to support a broad range of robotic solutions. By providing a space where technological innovation meets the advanced quality assurance (QA) processes that have established Rivers Agile’s reputation, this new center plays a key role in supporting the region’s expanding tech ecosystem.

“The rapid advancements in deep tech, robotics, and AI are not just transforming industries—they’re shaping the fabric of our society.  Pittsburgh stands at the forefront of this evolution, where cutting-edge innovation is driving economic growth, creating high-value jobs, and addressing global challenges. As a leading robotics hub, companies here like Rivers Agile are proving that technology isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about building a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.” — Jennifer Apicella, Executive Director, Pittsburgh Robotics Network

Looking Ahead

As Rivers Agile continues to redefine the boundaries of technology, this testing facility stands as a testament to the company’s visionary approach and commitment to innovation in developing its own cutting-edge solutions. By bridging robotics with quality assurance, Rivers aims to set new industry standards and deliver transformative solutions to the tech ecosystem while also developing their own unique tech.
