Perrone Robotics

Perrone Robotics is a leading provider of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology and turnkey solutions for the mobility of people and goods. The company's flagship product is the TONY (TO Navigate You) AV kit, a vehicle-independent retrofit system that can be integrated into various vehicle types to provide full autonomy within geo-fenced and localized operations. Perrone's technology is designed to work across different platforms, including transit vans, buses, shuttles, and cargo vehicles.

The TONY AV kit offers Level 4 autonomy for mapped zones of operation and can be integrated into both new and existing vehicles without compromising their original features or certifications. This flexibility allows for faster and more cost-effective autonomous vehicle deployments. In May 2023, Perrone introduced the TONY ADAS Kit, which provides advanced driver assistance features for various vehicle types, including forward collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, and automatic emergency braking.

Perrone Robotics has developed partnerships to expand its reach and capabilities. In March 2022, the company collaborated with Roush Industries to create a scalable production process for integrating the TONY AV kit into vehicles. This partnership aims to facilitate larger-scale AV deployments across existing and new fleets. Additionally, in May 2023, Perrone launched the "AutoCampus" program in partnership with Global Finance Group, offering turnkey autonomous vehicle solutions to universities and colleges.

The company's technology has been deployed in various applications, including public transportation, campus shuttles, and logistics operations. In February 2023, Perrone announced an agreement to provide autonomous vehicles for operation in Hawaii, expanding its global reach.
