}}Buffalo Automation is an AI company providing autonomous navigation technology for commercial ships and recreational boats. It is based in Buffalo, New York.[1][2]

History

It was founded by Thiru Vikram, Shane Nolan, Alexander Zhitelzeyf, Emilie Reynolds and Mohit Khakharia who were engineering students at the University at Buffalo.[3][4][5] They developed AutoMate which uses advanced sensors, HD thermal cameras, broadband radars and AIS (Automatic Identification System) to identify stationary objects, swimmers, recreational and large vessels up to 24 nautical miles.[1] The system also recognizes navigation signs, helps maneuver in compliance with COLREGS and interprets weather conditions, using neural networks.[2][6][7][8] In 2016, Buffalo Automation secured $25,000 in pre-seed investments from Launch NY and Z80 labs. Z80 also made a $100,000 follow-on investment.[3][4] In 2018, they raised $900,000 in a seed funding round led by the Jacobs family office.[8]

Awards and recognition

  • In 2015, the startup placed first the Buffalo Student Sandbox accelerator program.[9]
  • In 2016, they won the UB's Henry A Panasci Jr Technology Entrepreneurship Competition.[6][7][4]
  • In 2016, the company was nominated as a finalist for the Innovation Award by Lloyd's List.[10]
  • It also won the Information Technology/ Software category in the New York Business Plan Competition, 2016.[6][7]
