Standard Bots

Standard Bots was founded in 2011 by Evan Beard and David Golden and is based in Glen Cove, New York. The company designs and assembles industrial robotic arms in the United States, aiming to make automation affordable for manufacturers that previously found six-axis robots too expensive.

Its arm lineup spans the Spark, Core (RO1), and Thor models, covering payloads from 7 kg to 30 kg, alongside the Bolt mobile robot in beta. Robots run on an in-house software platform that lets operators train tasks by demonstration instead of manual coding, and are used for machine tending, palletizing, welding, pick and place, and inspection by customers including NASA, Amazon, Verizon, and Lockheed Martin.
