Energid

USA

Energid Technologies, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Massachusetts, is a leading pioneer in real-time, adaptive motion-control solutions for robotics. Its flagship product, Actin, is an advanced software toolkit enabling dynamic, multi-axis coordination—perfect for robots operating in complex, unpredictable environments. Whether orchestrating mobile robots, underwater systems, multi-arm assemblies, or sensor-equipped manipulators, Actin empowers developers to focus on mission-critical tasks without reinventing the control layer.

Over the years, Energid’s software has proven its versatility across demanding applications—from seafloor oil rigs and nuclear inspections to precision agriculture and medical robotics, even extending to robotics in space research. The company has been repeatedly recognized on the RBR50 list for its disruptive impact in the robotics industry. In 2018, Energid joined forces with Teradyne, bolstering its reach while retaining its own innovation culture. The firm operates across several U.S. engineering hubs and a location in India, offering both SDK licensing and integration services to accelerate robotic solution development. Led by CEO Neil Tardella, Energid is a quietly powerful engine behind the next wave of complex, adaptive robotic automation.
