Robotics Companies in United States

Mobile telepresence robots for remote presence and interaction

Global leader in collaborative robotics with open-architecture easy-to-use cobots.

Solar-powered weeding robot for home vegetable gardens

Telegarden was a telerobotic art installation developed at the University of Southern California that enabled internet users to remotely view, plant, water, and monitor a small garden of living plants using an Adept-1 industrial robotic arm. It operated as a community garden starting in 1995, allowing teleoperation via the web. Not a commercial B2B robotics product; it was an experimental art project by Ken Goldberg, not produced by a robotics company for sale.

Grown in the world's first and largest indoor vertical strawberry farm, The Omakase Berry is like none you've had before.

Diego-san is a humanoid robot designed to study cognitive and social development in infants. Developed by researchers at UC San Diego's Machine Perception Laboratory under professor Javier Movellan, the robot is modeled after a 1-year-old baby with an oversized head to house expressive facial hardware. The body was built by Japanese animatronic company Kokoro and the head by Hanson Robotics. Diego-san is used for research into infant cognition and social interaction.

Expressive humanoid robots for research and education

RoMeLa (Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory) is a research facility at UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering focused on humanoid robot development and bipedal locomotion. The lab designs full-sized autonomous humanoid robots including CHARLI (Cognitive Humanoid Autonomous Robot with Learning Intelligence), the first full-size autonomous humanoid robot in the United States, and ARTEMIS (Advanced Robotic Technology for Enhanced Mobility and Improved Stability). RoMeLa's robots are designed as research platforms for studying robot mobility, autonomy, and locomotion over uneven terrain, with applications in RoboCup soccer competition.

Open-source full-sized humanoid robot for dynamic locomotion and locomanipulation

Unimation was the world's first robotics company, founded by Joseph F. Engelberger and George Devol. It developed and manufactured Unimate, the first industrial robot—a hydraulic manipulator arm installed on General Motors assembly lines in 1961 for tasks like metalworking and welding. It licensed Unimate technology to Kawasaki in 1968-1969 for the Asian market. Later acquired by Westinghouse and then Staublí.

Salto-1P is a one-legged jumping robot developed by the Biomimetic Millisystems Lab at UC Berkeley, inspired by the lesser bushbaby. The robot uses a springy leg, reaction wheel tail, and propeller thrusters to achieve continuous high-power hopping and autonomous navigation on imperfect terrain. It is a research platform rather than a commercial robotics company product.

Advanced robotics for a dynamic world

Bandit is a humanoid robot developed by the Robotics and Autonomous Systems Center (RASC) at USC, designed as an expressive tool for human-robot interaction. The robot's body consists of servo-motors and rapid-prototyped parts. Its updated design and fabrication were performed by BlueSky Robotics, building upon techniques from the successful Bandit-I implementation.
