The Jerome Bettis Bus Stops Here Foundation

Jerome Bettis’ CyberBus was created to bridge the digital divide and ensure that all children, regardless of background, have access to computer science education. As technology continues to shape the future, digital literacy is no longer optional—it’s essential. By providing hands-on, engaging STEM learning experiences, Jerome Bettis’ CyberBus empowers students in under-resourced communities with the skills they need to thrive in the 21st-century digital economy.

Thoro.ai

Thoro.ai is an autonomy software and integration company that enables autonomy on the warehouse floor. From a single collaborative robot to a fully integrated enterprise solution, Thoro develops mobile robots that perform: AI model development (we build world class AI models!), 3D Visual SLAM, path planning, obstacle avoidance, task execution, fleet management, and operator UI. We design all features for the real-world complexity of industrial environments.  We have deployed over 1300 systems globally into world-class enterprises of all sizes.

Thoro's CoreFlex architecture brings this capability to market at an ultra-low cost, making autonomous deployment accessible across a wider range of platforms and use cases.

We also provide custom solutions tailored to specific industrial workflows.  Not sure where to start with automation?  Whether that means developing task-specific ML models for novel material handling challenges or engineering purpose-built perception pipelines, Thoro goes beyond off-the-shelf to solve problems that standard autonomy can't.

Finally, Thoro handles the integration layer by connecting robots to third-party enterprise systems, fleet management platforms, and warehouse infrastructure. From a standalone co-bot with zero connectivity requirements to a multi-robot deployment fully integrated with WMS, ERP, and VDA 5050-compliant systems, Thoro scales with your operation.
