Top Robotics Startups in 2026

Realtime Robotics has developed a simple, extensible platform for automation. The platform has interlocking features that, when combined, enable customers and system integrators to apply flexible robot control technology to vastly broader applications. Realtime’s technology is a combination of proprietary software and hardware that enables real-time motion planning. Our core collision-free motion planning platform is versatile and continuously accommodates changes occurring in a workcell. This allows users to operate single or multiple robots safely at full speed in unstructured and uncaged environments. The combined features in our platform empower robots to function seamlessly across many deployments with minimal programming and reprogramming during implementation.

SoftBank Robotics is driving technology forward as a worldwide leader in robotics solutions. Rapidly expanding with offices in Tokyo, Paris, London, San Francisco, Boston, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul, and Sydney, SoftBank Robotics is constantly exploring and commercializing robotics solutions that help make people’s lives easier, safer, more connected, and more extraordinary. There are currently over 30,000 SoftBank Robotics robots used in more than 70 countries worldwide offering innovative applications relevant in the fields of retail, tourism, healthcare, finance, education, facilities management, and cleaning.

Botsync is a Singapore-based robotics and automation startup building autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and intelligent software for modern factories and warehouses. We combine robotics with intelligent software to create scalable automation systems for modern industries. Our mission is simple — make industrial automation flexible, scalable, and easier to adopt for modern businesses. Founded in 2017, we help companies improve material movement, warehouse operations, and factory workflows through software-driven robotics solutions. Today, our solutions are deployed across global markets with multiple Fortune 500 companies. Backed by leading investors and currently in our Series A growth stage, we are growing rapidly across engineering, product, and business teams.

Our mission is to solve the crushing labor problem faced by farmers today, by making collaborative robots like Wall-E a reality. To do this, we are starting first with a fully autonomous robotic platform called Burro, that helps people work more productively while laying the base for fully autonomous work outdoors.

Rezilient is building the world’s first distributed healthcare system. A network of CloudClinics allow members to see their physicians at any location, regardless of where that doctor is located, because the doctors’ skills can be transported over the internet to any CloudClinic, anywhere in the country, instantly. Each CloudClinic is staffed by a nurse who facilitates the high-touch aspects of the appointment, like taking the patient’s vitals, labs, and physical exams. The doctor appears on a large monitor, while the nurse acts as the doctor’s hands. What makes these CloudClinics especially unique is Rezilient’s cloud health platform. It enables the doctor to, for example, listen to your heart or examine your eardrum remotely with integrated digital medical devices, and on the large screen the patient gets to see what the doctor sees in real time. This means Rezilient members can see the same physician and expect the same patient experience in a CloudClinic in Miami as they would in Phoenix.

AEye’s technology evolved from co-founder and CEO Luis Dussan’s work in designing reconnaissance, targeting, and defense systems for fighter jets. Dussan realized that a self-driving vehicle faces a similar challenge: it must be able to see, classify, and respond to an object – whether it is a parked car or a child crossing the street – in real time and before it’s too late. This demands the vehicle to think like a robot, but perceive like a human.

Natlius designs and produces large scale unmanned aircraft that are reducing air freight costs and emissions by 50%. With over $5 billion in aircraft pre orders from major airlines and integrators, Natilus aircraft are poised to become the market standard in moving global freight. The company has three products: 1.) 3.8 ton 'feeder' aircraft meant to compete with Cessna Caravan and Sky Courrier 2.) 60 ton domestic meant to compete with Boeing 767/757 3.) 100 ton trans-pacific freighter meant to compete with Boeing 777/747 Lead by an aerospace team with experience in 25+ aircraft programs, Natilus is currently in the process of producing the first 3.8 ton aircraft.

smartARM is developing bionic hands for amputees powered by computer vision.
