01 — Austin, Texas

Austin, in motion.

Austin has always been a city of builders — chips, software, electric cars. Now the things we build are starting to walk out the door on their own.

02 — It starts in a room

Builders, in one room.

Austin Robotics is the public community for robotics, physical AI, and hardware in Austin, Texas. 3,400+ members and counting. Once a month, close to 200 of us show up for talks, live demos, and the people building next to them — 75+ events so far.

03 — Who we are

People who build robots.

Engineers writing control loops. Researchers pushing locomotion and perception. Founders turning prototypes into products. Students, operators, machinists, and the endlessly curious. If you build intelligent machines — humanoids, autonomous vehicles, industrial arms, drones — you’re one of us.

04 — The industry

One city. A whole industry.

An industry isn’t one company. It’s robotics engineers, researchers, universities, startups, suppliers, and investors — a short drive from each other, and the people you’ll meet in the room.

05 — Our mission

Building the largest robotics industry. In the heart of Texas.

Texas has the space, the manufacturing base, the talent, and the capital. Austin sits at the center of it. We bring the people together so the companies, the jobs, and the breakthroughs happen right here.

Who we bring together

It takes all of us to build a robotics industry.

Robots get built when the right people find each other. Austin Robotics is where they do.
