About
About mkind
mkind is developing industrial robots and foundation models for high-mix manufacturing, where skilled work changes across products and production runs. Its systems are intended to learn task structure from expert demonstrations and sensory feedback rather than depending entirely on fixed waypoint programmes written for one part and one cell configuration.
The company is integrating robot hardware, perception, manipulation models and workcell controls into complete production systems. Its initial commercial process is centred on customer demonstrations and application development for critical manufacturing jobs, placing the business at an early deployment stage rather than offering a broad catalogue of standard machines.
