The Swiss robot startup that hit over €10 million in sales.
THE COMPANY
Mission and vision
Our mission:
Democratizing Robotics
Our mission is to democratize robots, allowing everyone to own or use them. Our robots provide access to the Industry 4.0 revolution, even for small companies. We believe automation is key to future performance and the solution to upcoming challenges. Our goal is to increase automation through accessible and sustainable solutions. Our mission has clear steps. We began with industrial painting robots using a successful subscription model. The first step is to eliminate toxic jobs in the industrial painting industry and reduce workforce fluctuations due to labor shortages.
Our vision: A world with jobs
that uplift the human spirit
Our new platform aims to make human progress truly relevant to people. While progress has added comfort for thousands of years, it hasn't always improved quality of life or mental health. We are dedicated to envisioning a world where society efficiently produces what humanity needs, allowing for the cultivation of creativity and beauty in education, and fostering a new era of enriching jobs that uplift the human spirit. Additionally, we aspire to support the elderly by offering a prolonged and healthy life. (maybe facilitated by the new generation of caring robots rent through Robonnement platform).
“2000 years of progress have not taken us as far as we'd hoped. While we have more comfort, we have less free time, freedom, and more mental struggles. Robots and AI wrongly focus on creative jobs, leaving dirty work to humans.
We are changing that. And we already started.”
