Born from a Cleveland traffic-council question about why road markings still required dangerous, labor-intensive stenciling, RoadPrintz makes robotic systems for painting detailed pavement markings. Founded by automotive-systems specialist Sam Bell and Case Western Reserve robotics professor Wyatt Newman, the company introduced its patented Electra system in 2022, allowing an operator to direct a robot from inside a truck cab instead of working on foot in traffic.
Robotic Maintenance VehiclesBorn from Pioneer Industrial Systems’ effort to make highway maintenance safer, Robotic Maintenance Vehicles builds truck-mounted robotic systems for roadwork, beginning with its patented Robotic Crack Sealer. The Toledo-based company integrates a FANUC robot with crack-sealing equipment and AI vision so one operator can maintain pavement while staying inside the vehicle, collecting detailed work data along the way. RMV is also developing additional road-maintenance platforms, including a traffic rover and robotic pothole filler.MONCLOVA, OH
ARRB SystemsBuilt from the Australian Road Research Board’s road-research legacy, ARRB Systems develops automated pavement-assessment equipment and delivers road data collection and safety services. The independent company was established in 2017 and now supports more than 130 agencies worldwide, using high-speed systems to reveal surface and underlying structural problems before they become costly failures.336999EXTON, PA
