Innova Robotics and Automation, Inc

Innova Robotics and Automation, Inc. is a robotic technology and enterprise systems automation company providing hardware and software systems-based solutions for the telecommunications, manufacturing, aerospace, research, and service industries, through its subsidiaries; Robotic Workspace Technologies, CoroWare, and Innova Robotics.

Innova Robotics and Automation has issued three patents from the USPTO covering the utilization of a general purpose PC communicating with and sending commands to robotic and automated devices. Innova Robotics and Automation subsidiary, Robotic Workspace Technologies (RWT), applies this control technology to industrial robots of any manufacturer providing flexibility and enhanced functionality that allows for enterprise- wide communications, data sharing, and multi-axis control. RWT's products, the Universal Robot Controller (URCe) and RobotScript^w a robot programming language, provides a true universal, open-architecture solution for robotic and automated motion control devices.

CoroWare specializes in offering systems and applications development services for both enterprise systems automation and integration and robotics integration.

CoroWare's enterprise systems automation and integration business focuses on development and deployment of solutions for customer care based on Microsoft's Customer Care Framework and a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Through its first-hand experience with Microsoft's customer care implementation, CoroWare has positioned itself as an expert provider of Customer Care Framework in the rapidly growing customer care market.

CoroWare offers its robotic integration expertise to customers who are looking for systems and applications development services in areas such as software architecture, design and development. CoroWare is currently involved with a company specializing in design, development and production of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

CoroWare provides custom-designed robotic platforms and software that can be used for, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and education.

The CoroWare team has more than 30 years of combined robotics design and development experience, enabling them to develop a Mission and Robotic Control System (MRCS). MRCS is a flexible command and control application that acts as a mission planner, command base station, and supervising station for air, land, and sea unmanned vehicle systems and platforms of any manufacturer.

Utilizing their in-depth knowledge of the new Microsoft Robotics Studio (MRS) development platform, CoroWare was the first company to build an MRS-based arm-equipped mobile service robot. This experience uniquely positions CoroWare to offer systems and applications development services to customers who want to take full advantage of MRS for the development of commercial robotic products as well as educational robotic services.

Innova Robotics leverages, the best- of-breed products and talents of RWT, CoroWare and its partners, such as Mesa Robotics, Embry Riddle University and University of South Florida, to deliver innovative robotic solutions to the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security, first responders, and other markets.
