Use-cases
What FR-1 Can Do
If a human does it repetitively, FR-1 can learn it. FR-1 brings automation to stations that until now required a human, because no robot was capable enough, flexible enough, or affordable enough to handle it.

About Us
We're driving down the cost of operations and helping U.S. manufacturers lead globally.
We set ambitious goals, move fast, and execute with discipline — and we measure everything by results in the field, not research in a lab.
Affordable robots. Breakthrough technology. Real deployments that deliver real value.
We're hiring
We are a team of scientists and engineers on a mission to revolutionize the American industrial base. We’re always looking for driven builders who combine deep technical talent with relentless work ethic and grit.
