Tensr

Corporate marketmanufacturingCurated record

Tensr builds fully autonomous robotic factories designed around robots from the ground up, rather than retrofitting robots into legacy facilities. Their 12,000 sq ft Bay Area factory is operational 24/7 and is described as a robotic factory that builds robots, with on-demand manufacturing capable of producing any volume at consistent unit economics. The founding team are UC Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) robotics researchers who previously led an autonomous IndyCar racing team at 160 mph and secured $17M+ in DARPA and industry sponsorship via AI Racing Tech. Their stated goal is to make scaling physical manufacturing as effortless as scaling cloud infrastructure.
