Robotnik Automation

Robotnik Automation is a Spanish mobile robotics manufacturer founded in 2002 and headquartered in Paterna, Valencia, with an additional office in Singapore. The company was established to bring autonomous mobile robots and mobile manipulators, built and engineered in Europe, to industrial and infrastructure operators facing hazardous, repetitive or labor-scarce tasks.

Its product range includes mobile robot bases such as the RB-1 and RB-WATCHER, and mobile manipulators such as the RB-KAIROS+ that combine a navigation platform with a robotic arm for inspection or handling. Robots run on the ROS framework and are customized for each project. Customers span photovoltaic panel inspection, automotive and metallurgy manufacturing, ports and research institutions such as Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

1. Mobile robot bases: Platforms such as RB-1 for indoor transport, inspection and light manipulation.

2. Mobile manipulators: RB-KAIROS+ pairs a navigation base with a robotic arm for pick, place and inspection tasks.

3. Security and inspection robots: RB-WATCHER patrols facilities and photovoltaic plants for surveillance and defect detection.

4. ROS-based control: Robots run on the open Robot Operating System for easier customization and integration.

5. Made-in-Europe manufacturing: Design, engineering and production carried out in Spain.

6. Turnkey project delivery: Robotnik configures and supports full deployments, not only hardware sales.
