About
Matthew Rendall, Ryan Gariepy, Pat Martinson and Bryan Webb started Clearpath Robotics out of the University of Waterloo's mechatronics engineering programme in 2009.

Rockwell Automation acquired it in 2023. Martinson brought the company's product planning approach to the TechWaterloo stage in September 2017.
