Arda joins NVIDIA Inception
Arda has been accepted into NVIDIA Inception, the program supporting startups building the next generation of AI and accelerated computing.
The future of
refuse & recycling.
Refuse collection is one of America's five deadliest jobs, and the industry faces a chronic worker shortage. Arda is developing autonomous systems to make this essential service safer, more reliable, and fundamentally more efficient.
Join usReliability at every stop.
Arda is developing autonomous systems for residential and commercial refuse and recycling, designed to deliver safer, more reliable service at a lower, more predictable cost. By automating both vehicle operation and material handling, Arda aims to improve vehicle productivity while reducing dependence on scarce labor.
Autonomous operation also allows each route to run when it makes the most sense, whether that means dependable neighborhood pickup or nighttime commercial service that stays out of busy lots.
Better with every route.
Arda is building a shared autonomy system that learns across routes, service locations, and operating conditions. What one vehicle learns can improve how the entire fleet plans, drives, and performs collection.
That shared intelligence enables safer operation, more reliable service, and fleets that become increasingly capable as they scale.
