The Urban Robotics Foundation (URF) is a global, membership-funded, non-profit organization that is bringing together stakeholders interested in preparing communities for the deployment of new technologies to improve public services, accessibility and liveability. 

Our goal is to help ensure that stakeholders understand the opportunities and challenges of urban robotics and related technologies and to build a global network of people focused on providing economic and environmental benefits while improving accessibility, safety and security for cities and public facility operators.

One of our key priorities is to develop ISO/DTS 4448 and ISO/DTS 25614, two global deployment standards for public-area mobile robots (PMRs) and robotaxi pick-up/drop-off (PUDO) orchestration, respectively. 

We also offer municipal readiness workshops, virtual roundtables, and webinars to bring together stakeholders to expedite their journey to find the most relevant and credible information to address the challenges and opportunities of PMRs.

Membership is open to:
- municipal, urban and traffic planners
- public facility operators (airports, zoos, hospitals, campuses)
- accessibility advocacy groups
- robot manufacturers & technology innovators
- fleet operators
- researchers
