# About Austin Robotics

Austin Robotics is the public community for robotics, physical AI, and hardware in Austin, Texas. We connect engineers, founders, researchers, students, and operators who build intelligent machines — humanoids, autonomous vehicles, industrial robots, aerial systems, and the tooling around them.

The site is the public operating system of that community: a place to meet in person, find Texas companies and roles, and follow what Texas-HQ teams and Texas university labs are shipping.

## What we do

- Host monthly in-person meetups, typically at [HICAM](https://hicam.io) (6201 Quinn Luke Trail, Austin, TX 78724), a 52,000 square-foot advanced manufacturing campus. HICAM is our usual venue and a sponsor; it is not Austin Robotics headquarters.
- Maintain a [directory of Texas robotics, AI, and hardware companies](https://austinrobotics.io/startups-companies), including published Texas streets when we have them.
- Curate [Texas robotics jobs](https://austinrobotics.io/jobs) and [news](https://austinrobotics.io/news). Applications happen on each employer's own site.
- Publish the [Texas Robotics Brief](https://austinrobotics.substack.com) and host talks on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@AustinRobotics).

## What we are not

Austin Robotics is not a venture fund, a staffing agency, a complete cap-table or funding database, or a substitute for a company's own documentation. Job applications happen on each employer's ATS. Directory listings are curated community records, not paid placements unless we say otherwise.

## Who organizes it

Public meetup organizers include Florin Matei, Anthony Costello, and Nihal Soans. For partnerships, directory corrections, speaking, or press, use [contact@austinrobotics.io](mailto:contact@austinrobotics.io).
