Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, the company's mission is to enable autonomy that enhances human judgment, expands operational reach, and performs reliably in complex, high-stakes environments.

The company's core offerings include Palladyne IQ, designed for industrial robots and cobots to facilitate learning and adaptation in dynamic settings, and Palladyne Pilot, an intelligent flight system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that supports complex tasks and swarm capabilities.

Formerly known as Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation, the company rebranded to Palladyne AI Corp. in March 2024, signaling a strategic pivot towards AI software. Ben Wolff serves as the President and CEO, having been appointed in February 2024. Recent developments include securing patents for AI-driven path creation and foundational swarming technology, and being awarded a U.S. Navy contract through its subsidiary GuideTech to develop an air-launched, near-hypersonic missile. Palladyne AI positions itself as a defense and industrial partner, focusing on secure, American-developed platforms for high-risk, real-world operations.
