Why StarBot?

Robotics progress depends on a clear path from learning to research and from research to useful work. StarBot is building that path with platforms sized for young learners, university laboratories, and real service environments.

Our service-industry experience remains central, but it is now one part of a broader mission: give students an accessible way to learn robotics, give researchers flexible embodied-AI platforms, and help service teams evaluate automation in real operating environments.

2026 Product Line

One Robotics Vision. Three Platforms.

From first robotics projects to advanced embodied-AI research and real-world service operations, each platform is designed around a distinct user and environment.

Our Journey: Research to Reality

From early motion research to a three-platform roadmap spanning education, academic research, and real-world service.

January 2025

The Beginning

Acquired the Unitree G1 as our primary R&D platform. This marked the start of our deep-dive into humanoid control theory.

June 2025

Mastering Movement

Achieved full dynamic bipedal balancing and complex dancing algorithms. Proven core capabilities in real-world physics.

October 2025

Precision Manipulation

Refined fine-motor dexterity algorithms, enabling the robot to perform precise grabbing and complex object handling tasks.

December 2025

Hardware Evolution

Launched StarBot Nova. We transitioned from bipedal testing to a stable wheeled base with two 7-DOF arms.

February 2026

Pilot Platform Integration

Integrated navigation, interaction, and manipulation work into a service-robot pilot platform for continued validation.

July 2026

StarBot Astra Released

Released StarBot Astra, a 5 ft, 75 lb humanoid research platform with 23 full-body degrees of freedom for universities, research institutions, and R&D teams.

September 2026

StarBot Spark and StarBot Flex Released

Released StarBot Spark, an approximately 3 ft, 35 lb platform for youth education and research, alongside StarBot Flex, a 5 ft 9 in foldable wheeled robot for real-world service operations.
