Daxbot is an American robotics company based in Philomath, Oregon. The company develops autonomous robots for deliveries, ADA sidewalk accessibility assessments, and private security patrols.[1][2][3] Joseph Sullivan is the founder and owner.[4]
History
[edit]
The company was founded in 2015.[5] It was originally called Nova Dynamics and is based in Philomath, Oregon, where in 2017 the city approved testing of its delivery robot.[6] In 2025, the City of Irvine announced the use of Daxbot robots to survey sidewalks and curb ramps as part of the city's ADA Title II self-evaluation; the project was led by city contractor Bureau Veritas.[1] In September 2025, CTX Patrol partnered with Daxbot to deploy security robots for site patrol in areas around Northeast Austin.[2]
In November 2025 the Salem Center Mall in Salem, Oregon started using Daxbot as a security patrol, and it was also announced that Daxbot would soon begin working to cut down vandalism and drifting at Pringle Parkade.[7][8]
In January 2026, the city of Burleson deployed Daxbots to help them identify areas of Burleston that were in need of accessibility improvements.[9][10] The robots have been well received.[11]
Technology
[edit]Daxbot's delivery robots can travel up to 10 miles at 4 mph and have a temperature-controlled cargo space.[12] The robots' nonverbal sounds have been shown to positively impact people's perceptions of them.[13]
Their ADA robots collect measurements related to accessibility, such as slopes, widths, and curb-ramp attributes, to support ADA self-evaluations and transition planning.[1][14][15]
The company's security robots are used by private security firms for mobile video monitoring and site patrols.[2]
