Six years, forty-two robots, one rule: if it lives in your home, it has to earn its place there. A few we’re allowed to show.

From a full humanoid to a disc that cleans under the sofa, every KYBRE robot shares one design language: soft shell, honest eyes, nothing sharp.

Robots for real homes: humanoid helpers, robot vacuums, companions and the software that makes them feel calm to live with. We take a product from first sketch to the version you can build at scale.

Mostly. We also partner with appliance brands and research labs moving into robotics, as long as the product will live around people.

A focused sprint (concept, form and interaction) takes 6–8 weeks. A full product, through engineering and pilot builds, usually runs 9–14 months.

Yes. Our hardware team designs for manufacture from day one and stays on through prototyping, tooling and the first production run.

Send a short note about what you're building. We'll come back within two working days with questions, not a sales deck.
