MassRobotics
About
MassRobotics is a nonprofit innovation hub for robotics, physical AI and connected devices, headquartered in Boston’s Seaport. It describes itself as the world’s largest independent robotics hub, and its mission is to help create and scale the next generation of robotics companies. Resident startups get workspace, prototyping and testing facilities, programming and connections to develop and commercialize their products, and they range from early concept and design to scaling and manufacturing.
The hub grew out of the Massachusetts Robotics Cluster, which MassTLC established in 2004. Cluster members developed a plan for a robotics innovation hub and co-working space, and MassRobotics was formed as a nonprofit in 2015. Founders include Tye Brady, Steve Paschall, Fady Saad, Joyce Sidopoulos and Daniel Theobald. Startups share services such as IT, security, maintenance and business support, and gain investor introductions and customer connections, while sponsors from many industries contribute resources.
