About us
Robots have the potential to reshape our existence. Our mission is to leverage robotics to improve universal quality of life. Robots will become one of the most impactful and effective tools humanity has ever created. We believe robots should do the work humans don’t want to do. We pursue ambitious goals to make this a reality. We’re not satisfied making incremental improvements to the status quo but are driven to change the paradigm altogether. Our robots are versatile, capable of solving numerous tasks with a single embodiment. Join us on the next phase of our journey as we get our systems out into the world to do the most meaningful work.

✨ Incredible progress from Google DeepMind on open-ended robot reasoning, featuring Apollo! Check out Apollo responding to complex instructions and adapting to changing contexts with Hannah Fry
Pre-programmed backflips are fun, but open-ended reasoning is the real challenge for robots. 🤖 Hannah Fry stepped inside the lab to see how we’re building agents that can understand context and figure things out for themselves – rather than just following a script.

🎯 A major milestone on the road to embodied intelligence. This week, Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics VLA reaches an important milestone in our joint mission to bring AGI into the physical world. By introducing agentic capabilities - the ability to reason, plan, actively use tools, and generalize - we’re moving beyond reactive models and into a new era of robotic autonomy. We’re proud to be collaborating on Gemini Robotics 1.5 with Google as we gear up to deploy Gemini-powered Apollo humanoid robots in additional customer facilities. It’s a critical step in transforming a powerful model into a field-ready system that performs with consistency, reliability, and purpose.
