Fully autonomous robotic factories
We're building fully autonomous robotic factories that make scaling hardware production as effortless as scaling on AWS. Our system uses robotics and deep learning to automate manufacturing processes from end to end, targeting hardware companies that struggle with slow, expensive factory scaling.
We currently live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based there after YC.
San Francisco is where our team is already located. It provides access to robotics talent, manufacturing partners, and investors interested in deep tech and automation, which fits our focus.
