What they do

Problem

Robot builders rely on overseas components and must custom-build critical parts in-house, slowing development and limiting US-based production.

Solution

HLabs manufactures US-made, plug-and-play robotic components (electronics and actuators) and provides bespoke designs for production robots via an in-house supply chain.

Who it's for

Robotics companies and engineering teams building household robots, humanoids, robot arms, quadrupeds, and defense systems.
