Our story: from vision to reality

Ekumen was founded by Julian Cerruti, Guillermo Manzato, and Patricio Reyna Almandos, who shared a vision of advancing technology through robotics.

Their journey began after their tenure at IBM Research, where they had developed top-tier software for cutting-edge research projects. A pivotal moment for Ekumen came when they collaborated with Willow Garage, the renowned robotics innovation lab that created the Robot Operating System (ROS).

This partnership ignited their passion for robotics, transforming Ekumen into a recognized player in the field. Over the years, we've built strong relationships and refined our expertise, carving a unique identity in the technology landscape.
