Roboflow is a software development company that develops computer vision products.[1]

History

[edit]

Roboflow was founded in 2019 by Brad Dwyer and Joseph Nelson. Prior to Roboflow, both had worked on augmented reality and artificial intelligence apps.[2] The first version of Roboflow was launched in 2020 as a platform for the management of image datasets. It later moved to model training and model deployment as an end-to-end solution.[2] Initial uses including medical research[3] and smart city applications.[2][4] As of 2024, it has raised $63.4 in funding[5] and been used by over one million developers.[6]

Platform

[edit]

Roboflow is a software platform that allows developers to build computer vision into products.[7] Developers can upload images and videos which are then used to train computer vision models.[8] It also has an open source repository[9] with over 500,000 labelled data sets and 500 million images as of 2024.[6]
