Use Case

Education

Keep machines running with consistent, automated loading and unloading. Standard Bots handles repetitive part movement, helping reduce operator strain, minimize downtime, and increase output.
The Machine Tending Cell

Everything in the crate

A complete machine-tending cell, delivered with the hardware required to get up and running—without a traditional integrator.

THREE WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Whatever you need is what we deliver

Standard Bots is an AI-native industrial robot OEM, but we sell direct as well as through partners. We take responsibility for every installation, and provide you unmatched support in the industry.

DIY Kit

You get the robot, accessories, software, and documentation. Your team handles end-to-end installation. We're here if you need us — but you're in the driver's seat.
FOR SELF-SERVE DEPLOYMENTS

Value-Add Package

We configure your kit, train your team on-site, and stay hands on through your first production runs. You own the cell long-term — we make sure you're confident before we step back.
For guided deployments

Full Integration

Tell us the problem. We design the cell, install the system, integrate with your equipment, and optimize until you hit your production targets. We don't leave until it's working.

The shift

Intelligent robots 
anyone can deploy

In simulation, a robot runs millions of experiments in about two days — and learns the task instead of being told every step of it. That's how our robots handle the real-world variation of day-to-day work.

The old control stack was hand-tuned loops and handcrafted layers — every exception on the line needed a new patch. Modern manipulation is end to end: raw sensors in, motion out. One learned model absorbs the variation, the same way self-driving replaced a stack of hand-coded classifiers.

The payoff is common sense on the line — robots that handle line-breaking exceptions and spin up quickly, without a three-month, million-dollar project.

The simplest robot you'll ever use

Tend many popular machines from one app

Connect to common machines over Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP with  our AI agent.

Skills

Three skills. Every task

Every skill you teach is built from the same three parts.
Standard Bots AI vision preview

Our robots see and understand.

Locate and classify objects using the wrist camera. The camera finds and identifies parts on the fly, so they adapt when things move instead of stopping.
Vision
Standard Bots AI motion planning preview

Our robots move and navigate.

Move the arm to a target position or along a recorded path. Send the arm to a position or record a path once, and they move intelligently, every cycle.
Motion
Standard Bots AI agent preview

Our robots run and reason.

Add custom knowledge or instructions for the AI agent — it makes the right call mid-task.
