Universal Logic, Inc., formerly Universal Robotics, Inc., is an artificial intelligence software engineering and robotics integration company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee.[1][2] The company offers supply chains complete material handling systems for high-mix, high-volume applications. The systems integrate artificial intelligence with vision, grasping, and motion control to give machines flexibility at high speed.[3][4]

Founded in 2008, the company specializes in complex or chaotic processes not previously automated.[5] The technology was funded by DARPA and NASA, and was originally co-developed through a 7-year[6] partnership between NASA and Vanderbilt University[5] and is employed in NASA's Robonaut.[3] In 2015, the company received its first million-dollar contract.[7]
