Seegrid CEO Dedicates Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2021 East Central Award to Company Fou

August 11, 2021
No Comments

Seegrid Corporation, the leader in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for material handling, announced that Jim Rock, Seegrid’s chief executive officer, dedicated his 2021 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year East Central Award to Seegrid founder and chief scientist, Hans Moravec. Ernst & Young announced Rock as an award winner for the East Central region last week based on the program's evaluation criteria that includes entrepreneurial leadership, talent management, financial performance, societal impact, values, originality, innovation, and future plans.

“Hans’ lifelong passion for creating intelligent machines that help humanity is the cornerstone of Seegrid’s purpose,” said Rock. “His decisive moments, innovative risk taking, and dedication to elevating human potential continues to inspire Seegrid’s culture and accomplishments.”

World-renowned roboticist Moravec spent decades perfecting innovative approaches to robot perception and navigation at Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University. Moravec founded Seegrid in 2003, and now the company has grown to encompass more than 350 diverse individuals who are collectively dedicated to building upon Moravec’s lifelong goal of elevating human potential through next-generation autonomous mobile robots and enterprise software. The company operates with a culture that promotes working and winning together which reflects the team's collective years of hard work, dedication, and persistence.

The Ernst & Young award follows a year of fast-tracked growth for Seegrid. The company recently announced multiple new products, including the Palion Tow Tractor, Palion Pallet Truck, Palion Lift AMR, and Fleet GeekTM analytics software. Seegrid continues to advance their artificial intelligence technology which is built on Moravec’s breakthrough vision-based technology, allowing Palion AMRs to see, understand, and learn. With a visionary mindset, Seegrid remains committed to delivering solutions that transform the world’s supply chain, autonomously moving material as safely, effectively, and efficiently as possible.

The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year program honors unstoppable business leaders whose ambition, ingenuity, and courage in the face of adversity help catapult society from the now to next and beyond. As a regional award winner, Rock is eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, which will be announced on November 13, 2021. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in June 2022.

“Seegrid has an entire team of unstoppable entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in propelling Seegrid forward every day,” said Rock. “This award puts a spotlight on our team’s unique ability to automate material flow safely, productively, for better outcomes for our customers, the community, and the global supply chain. We continue to thoughtfully look forward to the future and how we can advance automated material handling.”
