Clearpath Robotics
Location: Kitchener, Ont.
How it Innovates: Most industrial robots are riveted to a factory floor, performing one basic task over and over again. The unmanned vehicles made by Clearpath Robotics are more likely to be found navigating an oilsands tailings pond. That’s because Clearpath, founded in 2009, has developed autopilot software so its robots can move around more or less autonomously.
