Platform Capabilities

Wherobots provides a unified platform for spatial ETL, analytics, and AI.

Spatial Analytics

WherobotsDB

Cloud-native, serverless spatial analytics engine. Process vector and raster data with Spatial SQL, Python, and Scala — up to 20x faster than alternatives.

Havasu Table Format

Spatial table format built on Apache Iceberg. ACID transactions, time travel, and optimized storage for geometry and raster data.

AI & Machine Learning

WherobotsAI

Run computer vision on satellite imagery, detect spatial clusters and hotspots, and match GPS traces to road networks — all at planetary scale.

RasterFlow

End-to-end inference engine for large-scale raster processing. Build mosaics, run ML models, and vectorize results with a simple API.

Data & Storage

Spatial Data Catalog

Browse and discover curated geospatial datasets including Overture Maps, ESA WorldCover, and more.

Cloud Storage

Managed storage, S3 integration, and bring-your-own-storage options for your geospatial data.

Developer Tools

Build, automate, and integrate Wherobots into your workflows.

MCP Server
