RoboStore to Advance U.S. Localization of Robotics with Launch of Robo Inc.
After a Year in Stealth, Leading Robotics Distributor Unveils New York-Based Manufacturing & Systems Integration Company
RoboStore, a leading distributor of foreign humanoid and quadruped robots in North America, today announced the public launch of Robo Inc., a U.S.-based robotics manufacturing and systems integration company built to help organizations deploy practical robotic solutions in America. As the U.S. races to strengthen domestic manufacturing and secure critical technologies, Robo Inc. will open a 66,000-square-foot facility on Long Island, New York, which is expected to be fully operational by Q1 2027.
Based on real-world learnings from RoboStore selling and deploying more than 1,500 humanoid and quadruped robots while serving 4,500 customers, Robo Inc. will build America's robotics infrastructure with an ecosystem that combines global robotics supply chains with U.S.-based engineering, software, integration, production, testing, service and support. Importantly, the company is designing security and safety checkpoints into its integration process, including reviews of data flows, network access, software controls, operating environments and application-specific risks.
Robo Inc. draws on patterns seen across thousands of purchases, deployments, repairs and integration requests from customers including Harvard, MIT, Amazon, and Nvidia. The company will solve the most common customer need: a robotic solution that can be deployed against specific operational problems today, with realistic performance expectations, clear safety boundaries and a plan for integration into existing workflows - not an all-in-one humanoid promised to handle every task.
"With U.S.-based assembly, localized data infrastructure, and domestic integration, Robo Inc. will create a robotics platform built for American compliance," said Teddy Haggerty, Founder and CEO of RoboStore and Robo Inc. "RoboStore gave us a front-row seat to what customers actually need from robotics. Rather than more far-out promises, customers want solutions that can be deployed now, built around a specific job and supported over time. We're moving beyond selling robots to building a localized ecosystem that allows U.S. organizations to put robotics to work responsibly and at scale."
Robo Inc. is hardware-agnostic and will select robotic platforms and components based on the requirements of each application. The new company will work with customers to address applicable cybersecurity, safety and regulatory requirements without overstating what current robotic systems can do.
RoboStore will continue supporting its installed base and current inventory, including parts, repairs and upgrades for the platforms it services. Roboverse, the company's 4000+ member robotics developer community, will continue to operate under the Robo Inc. umbrella.

Featured Product
Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
