About
About Flexiv Robotics Ltd.
Flexiv develops adaptive industrial robots for force-controlled and contact-rich work. Rizon arms combine joint torque sensing, compliance and motion control for polishing, assembly, loading, dispensing and inspection. Grav supports higher-payload handling, Moonlight uses a parallel structure, and MICO extends the range with a newer compact adaptive platform.
Elements and Flexiv's application software provide programming, vision and workflow tools around the hardware. The company announced MICO's international launch at Automate 2026 and continues to build systems with manufacturing partners. Commercial evidence is strongest for named arms and packaged applications; performance depends on tooling, fixtures, process design and integration.
