Antioch
Software-only robotics development and simulation platform
About Antioch
Antioch provides a development and simulation platform for autonomy teams, enabling them to build, test, and deploy autonomous systems entirely in software. The company's core technology shifts robotics development and validation from traditional hardware-in-the-loop methods to a pure software approach. This model natively integrates with existing Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and other development workflows, facilitating test-driven development for robotic autonomy.
Read full description
The main product, Antioch Ark, containerizes a user's complete hardware and software stack into a single, version-controlled digital artifact. This approach aims to close the sim-to-real gap by delivering deterministic performance in both simulated and real-world environments. It allows robotics teams to simulate their systems by default, rather than as an additional step, accelerating development cycles and improving reliability. The platform is designed for clients in the robotics and autonomous systems market who need to rigorously evaluate and scale their products. Antioch's business model likely involves providing access to its simulation platform and tools on a subscription or licensing basis.
The company is backed by investors including A*, Abstract VC, MaC Venture Capital, BoxGroup, Icehouse Ventures, and Timeless Venture Partners. Notable individual investors include Michael Calvey and Shyam Sankar.
