Standard Bots

Programming a robot in 15 minutes? Anyone can do it. Community College of Allegheny County students put that to the test with their Standard Bots Core robot. On day one, they set up the robot system and ran their first programs — unsupervised. "Standard Bots takes these advanced concepts, these different vision systems, and makes it use-friendly so that anybody can learn how to use [the robot]." Robots create jobs. Give the next generation access to America's AI-native industrial robots, and you rebuild America.

AI-native robots are the key to enabling onshore production of America's critical supply chains and defense technology. We cannot rely on foreign-supplied automation tools to build up our defense industrial base — putting American tools in American factories is a national security issue. This week, Standard Bots led the Robotics Corner at #DIBX2026, the DIBC | Defense Industrial Base Consortium's inaugural Defense Industrial Base Accelerator. As America's largest manufacturer of AI-native industrial robots, we're proud to bring the essential power tool of the 21st century to those who make America.

“It’s not about replacing jobs.” At Pika's Farm Table, a Standard Bots robot took over dough portioning — a process that doesn't affect the artisanal quality of their baked goods. Employees can now focus on processes that drive all the qualities they're known for: craft and finesse.

Automation is a national imperative. The hard truth is America is no longer cost-competitive. Sourcing hardware from overseas is 5-10x cheaper than the U.S. AI-native robots are the essential power tool of the 21st century — how Americans will rapidly rebuild the productive capacity needed to compete at the global level. This is Standard Bots' central mission: to put essential manufacturing tools into the hands of those who build America. 

Traditional robots can't sense, adapt, or handle materials with the precision required in industrial laundry and textile operations. AI-native robots can. We're grateful to be working with Spindle to do exactly that — automate the jobs traditional robots couldn't touch.

Install, day one. Up and running, day two. That's how fast EAM-Mosca Corp. automated visual inspection and palletizing tasks with Standard Bots. Their operators programmed the routines themselves without any training via our simple iPad software in just a few taps. No code or robotics degree required.

Community College of Allegheny County Mechatronics students unboxed and programmed their robots the day they arrived in the lab. No supervision required. This is the kind of drive that Pittsburgh needs, as local industry faces surging demand for manufacturing talent skilled in advanced automation. CCAC picked Standard Bots to train the next generation of robotics experts. "Not only is it made here in America, it has a lot of these interfaces baked into the system," says Mike Russo, a CCAC Mechatronics program student. "So I can have exposure to vision learning systems and all this advanced technology that can be somewhat hard to acquire in any other way." Watch the full story: https://lnkd.in/enbYiQfv

94% of U.S. manufacturers don't use robots today due to cost, ease of use, and speed to market. Standard Bots is solving all of this. “If you don’t want to go with an integrator, if you’re trying to do it yourself, Standard Bots is a great place to start,” said Pia Roels from Pika’s Farm Table. “You don’t need to be a robotics experts or even a mechanical engineer in order to get this robot to work for you.” Standard Bots AI-native robots are designed to be the essential power tool of the 21st century, so anyone can use them in just a few clicks.

Only 6% of U.S. manufacturers use robots today. Cost, ease of use, and speed are all barriers to entry, but mostly it’s analysis paralysis. With so many things to automate, where do you even begin? The answer is to just get started: deploy one robot, then scale from there. EAM-Mosca Corp. started with one robot automating the measurement of the straps they produce. "We had very high success with Standard Bots, and that got us thinking about automating our packaging." One robot success turned into an another with automated palletizing: higher throughput and safer work environments. With Standard Bots, you can say yes to more.

3x throughput per employee, with artisans still doing what they do best. That’s the mission that Pika’s Farm Table set out on with a Standard Bots Core robot. The family-owned bakery didn't want to automate away the artisanal quality of their product. They wanted to grow production with the team they already had. Pika's Farm Table needed a flexible robot with a small footprint for tight spaces, and a support team that could actually show up. That's us. Right now, the robot handles dough portioning — freeing up the team to focus on the parts that need a human touch. Watch the full story: https://lnkd.in/eZvrARzv
