Verne Robotics

About

Verne Robotics builds state-of-the-art AI models that enable robotic arms to learn new skills in hours instead of weeks or months. Based in San Francisco and backed by Y Combinator, the company develops intelligent robotic systems that help businesses cut costs by automating back-of-house tasks like packaging, kitting, folding, and material handling. Their flagship Nemo robot features up to 1 meter reach, dual-arm dexterity, and reconfigurable on-site capabilities - delivering lights-out operations with no sick days, no staffing swings, and nonstop performance.

The technology has already delivered measurable results for customers like ABClonal, where Verne's automation gave teams back 5-10 hours per week. With founding team experience from Apple, Stanford, and Microsoft, Verne combines affordable robotic hardware with cutting-edge imitation learning algorithms. Their robots can be redeployed to new tasks on-site, making automation accessible for fulfillment centers, manufacturing facilities, and hospitality operations facing acute labor shortages. The company is building toward 24/7 automated packaging lines, no-touch manufacturing to re-industrialize America, and a future of human abundance.

Gravis Robotics

In late 2022, Gravis Robotics emerged from a decade of research at ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab, founded by a team of roboticists who recognized a critical gap in one of the world's largest yet most stagnant industries: construction. While global demand for infrastructure and building projects was skyrocketing, the sector faced declining productivity, an aging workforce, and severe labor shortages. The founders saw that traditional construction methods were failing to keep pace, and they realized the solution lay in transforming existing heavy machinery into intelligent, autonomous systems rather than replacing the entire fleet. Gravis developed a groundbreaking retrofit autonomy platform that turns ordinary excavators, loaders, and other earthmoving machines into robots through their proprietary Gravis RACK - a rooftop sensor suite combining LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, and learning-based control systems that "feel the soil" through hydraulic data. Paired with Gravis Slate, an intuitive tablet interface, the technology enables seamless switching between autonomous operation and augmented remote control, boosting productivity by up to 30% while dramatically improving site safety. Within just three years, Gravis has deployed its technology across seven countries, partnering with industry giants like Holcim, Taylor Woodrow, and Develon, and securing $23 million in funding to accelerate its global mission of bringing autonomy to the trillion-dollar earthmoving industry.

Diligent Robotics

Diligent Robotics develops socially intelligent mobile robots for healthcare environments, focused on automating routine logistical tasks so clinical staff can concentrate on patient care. Founded in 2017 by Andrea Thomaz and Vivian Chu - social robotics experts trained at MIT and Georgia Tech - the company addresses a concrete problem in hospital operations: nurses and clinical staff spend substantial time transporting medications, lab samples, and supplies rather than attending to patients directly. The company's flagship platform is Moxi, a mobile manipulation robot designed specifically for healthcare settings. Moxi navigates hospital corridors autonomously, retrieves and delivers supplies, and incorporates social intelligence features including patient greetings and friendly gestures. The design philosophy positions the robot as a collaborative teammate rather than a disruptive presence in clinical workflows. Technical capabilities span social robotics, mobile manipulation, robot navigation, and human-robot collaboration - disciplines that intersect autonomous navigation constraints with the complex, human-dense environments of active hospital floors. Moxi is deployed across health systems throughout the United States. In 2024 alone, the platform saved over 284,000 hours for clinical staff, a metric that reflects accumulated autonomous task completion in live hospital environments. The operational focus centers on robot-assisted logistics: handling the repetitive transport tasks that pull clinical staff away from direct patient interaction. For hospitals facing staffing shortages and increased patient care demands, the system serves as a force multiplier for existing teams rather than a replacement for human workers.

Watney Robotics

We're building autonomous robots that operate datacenter and supercomputing infrastructure. We work directly with the largest hyperscalers to help them scale their compute capabilities more efficiently. Our robots handle the physical tasks that keep these facilities running - from routine maintenance to breakfix operations - allowing human teams to focus on more complex challenges. We recently raised $21 million in seed funding from Conviction, Abstract and A*, which gives us the resources to scale from prototype to production fleets. Our team ships fast and takes ownership of what we build. We're not just making robots for the sake of it - we're solving real problems that our customers face every day as they try to keep up with the massive demand for computing power.

FRANKA ROBOTICS

Franka Robotics, headquartered in Munich, Germany, develops the Franka Research 3 robot system - a force-sensitive robotic platform purpose-built for robotics and AI research. Founded in 2016 and now part of Agile Robots SE since 2023, the company has delivered over 1,000 units to research institutions globally, including Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon University, and Toyota Research Institute. The Franka Research 3 features seven degrees of freedom with integrated torque sensors in each joint, enabling compliant manipulation and precise force control at the hardware level. The platform architecture provides researchers with both high-level interfaces for rapid prototyping and low-level access to joint torque, position, and velocity control loops. This dual-access design supports applications spanning robot learning, dexterous manipulation, and human-robot interaction research. The torque sensing capability in every joint allows for compliance control strategies without requiring external force-torque sensors, a design choice that simplifies integration while maintaining sensitivity for contact-rich tasks. Beyond hardware, Franka Robotics positions its offering as a reference robotics platform intended to standardize experimentation across the research community. The company's technical focus areas include mechatronics, robot control architectures, and sensor integration - specifically torque sensing for compliant behavior. Led by CEO Sami Haddadin, the research-driven organization operates globally, serving academic institutions and industrial R&D groups working at the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence. The platform's adoption by leading research institutions reflects its role in enabling reproducible research across manipulation, learning, and control domains.

Trexo Robotics

We started Trexo after watching my nephew, who has cerebral palsy, struggle to find a way to walk. Like many families, we searched everywhere for a solution that would let him experience the simple joy and health benefits of movement - but nothing existed that worked at home. Frustrated by this gap, my friend Rahul and I decided to build it ourselves. Now, after years of iterating alongside children, parents, and physical therapists, our wearable robotic devices are helping kids take steps they never could before, often for the first time in their lives. What we do matters because walking affects everything - from cardiovascular health to core strength to the confidence that comes from being upright. Our devices, Trexo Home for families and Trexo Plus for clinics, are designed to grow with each child and provide the repetitive, precise gait training that builds real capability. We're proud to see hundreds of families across North America using our robots, and we're just getting started. Every improvement we make comes directly from listening to the kids and therapists who use our equipment daily.
