San Diego - based autonomous systems developer Brain Corp is extending its business to the robotic ##s sector . The SoftBank - backed firm is best known for its autonomous floor cleaners , but it will now begin utilising its BrainOS software 's AI and computer vision for driverless deliveries . It is thought that Brain Corp 's approach of partnering with larger , industrial floor cleaning companies , like Nilfisk and Tennant , will also be applied to its new business venture . “So when I met him, I didn’t have to convince him of anything.” Rather than manufacturing its own products , the company 's CEO Vladimir Izhikevich wants to focus on providing the technology to convert human - powered machinery into autonomous devices .
