About Robros
Robros develops humanoid robots and physical-AI software for industrial environments.
Its IGRIS-C platform combines a human-scale body with software for spatial understanding, situational reasoning and action execution. The company positions the system for work in industries facing labour and physical-access constraints, with field data used to improve behaviour over time. Exact payload, runtime and orderability remain properties of the current IGRIS-C configuration.
