Our Story
Our start-up originated from the Robotics Minor at the Technical University of Delft. The minor consisted of 8 groups of students with different disciplines and skills. Each group eventually had to create a robot for a specific company. Our group had built a working prototype and graduated cum laude. Because our way of thinking was different from that of our competitors in the same field, people in the port became very interested in this project. For this reason, we have grown into an innovative robotics start-up and one of the professional companies of Dubbeldam Holding!
Meet Our Team
Our team consists of eight people. Three mechanical engineers, one aerospace engineer, one industrial design engineer, two software engineers and one machine learning engineer. Together we make innovative robots that can solve concrete problems.
