HEBI Robotics is a Pittsburgh-based innovator in the world of robotics. Our main product is a platform for robotics development–hardware and software tools that make it possible to quickly create capable, modular, and robust custom robots. In addition to enabling researchers around the world to accelerate their work, HEBI uses the platform–in collaboration with our industrial and government partners–to develop practical robotic systems that address challenging automation applications. Sure, we sell robots, but we also sell infinite robotic solutions that are not well addressed by current technology.
We’re a group of passionate people who truly believe in creating the future of robotics: a future where it’s easy to build robots.

HEBI Robotics develops Lego-like robotics building blocks. Our platform is used by researchers, universities, and industrial partners around the world to make world class robots quickly. In academia and research, our system minimizes the time required to build systems, enabling the user to focus more on the actual research. In industry, our system enables rapid prototyping and nearly infinite flexibility so that the robot can be designed around the process, and can be modified as needs change.
In summary, HEBI’s system provides the essential building blocks and actuation intelligence so that the roboticist can focus on the creative aspects of building robots.
