Meet StarBot Robotics
We're a Santa Barbara-based robotics startup on a mission to bring intelligent humanoid service to the hospitality industry. Born from cutting-edge research and real-world testing, we're building robots that work alongside people.
Why StarBot?
The hospitality industry faces an unprecedented labor shortage. Meanwhile, customers expect faster, more consistent service than ever before. We founded StarBot to bridge this gap—not by replacing people, but by giving teams a tireless partner that handles the repetitive tasks so humans can focus on what matters: genuine hospitality.
Our journey started with a simple question: "What if robots could actually serve, not just deliver?"After months of R&D on the Unitree G1 platform and countless iterations, we built Nova—our first-generation humanoid service robot, designed from the ground up for restaurants, hotels, and beyond.

First Generation Service Robot
Our Journey: Research to Reality
We didn't just build a robot. We mastered the science of movement, then built the perfect vessel for it.
The Beginning
Acquired the Unitree G1 as our primary R&D platform. This marked the start of our deep-dive into humanoid control theory.
Mastering Movement
Achieved full dynamic bipedal balancing and complex dancing algorithms. Proven core capabilities in real-world physics.
Precision Manipulation
Refined fine-motor dexterity algorithms, enabling the robot to perform precise grabbing and complex object handling tasks.
Hardware Evolution
Launched StarBot Nova. We transitioned from bipedal testing to a stable wheeled base with two 7-DOF arms.
Production Ready
Finalized the software migration to StarBot Nova. The algorithms honed on the G1 now power a robust service robot.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
One robot. One plan. Everything included.
