About the Company
CyPhy Works research starts with humans — we search out places and people where empowering technology is needed. We then scour the market landscape and literature to see what, if any, unutilized research can get us closer to helping those people in need. And if the research isn`t there, we do our own. Once we fully understand the opportunity and how to best address it, we get to work creating transformational technologies.
