About 577 Industries
AI that deploys to real-world platforms - fast, repeatable, and field-proven.
The Problem We Solve
AI is advancing faster than organizations can deploy it. Meanwhile, billions in existing hardware sits underutilized—capable platforms waiting for intelligence they were never designed to have.
We bridge that gap. Founded in 2022 in Columbus, Ohio, 577 Industries transforms existing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) platforms into intelligent systems. Our approach delivers capabilities 60-70% faster and cheaper than building from scratch—months instead of years.
We work at the convergence of AI, robotics, and physics because that's where real capability lives. Software without hardware is theoretical. Hardware without intelligence is limited. We build both together.
Our dual-use strategy—serving both defense and commercial sectors—accelerates everything. Innovations in one domain feed the other. Learning cycles compound. The result: applied intelligence that works in the real world, not just in demos.
Where We're Headed
By 2030, our technology will be the intelligence layer for autonomous platforms, critical infrastructure, and advanced defense systems across the globe.
Faster delivery than ground-up development
Not years to deploy new capabilities
Defense and commercial innovation synergy
How We Operate
Four principles guide every decision we make.
Ship Fast, Learn Faster
We prototype in weeks, not quarters. Every deployment teaches us something. Speed isn't recklessness—it's how you stay ahead of problems that haven't been named yet.
Physics Doesn't Negotiate
We build AI that respects real-world constraints. That means physics-aware models, sensor realities, and performance under stress—not glossy demos.
Cross-Pollinate Everything
Our teams blend AI, robotics, and physics. This convergence unlocks solutions that single-discipline teams cannot reach.
Capability Over Hype
We measure by deployment, not press. If it doesn't work on actual systems, it doesn't ship.
How We Differ
Traditional paths fall short for mission-critical autonomy. We take a different path.
Large Defense Contractors
Slow procurement cycles, closed systems, and limited agility.
Pure AI Companies
Great models, but rarely tested on the hardware they claim to optimize.
Robotics Manufacturers
Hardware-first, software second. We build integrated intelligence.
Research Organizations
Innovative, but often disconnected from field deployment realities.
Build With Us
Looking to deploy AI in challenging environments? We partner with teams who need capability now, not five years from now.
