About HEBI Robotics

HEBI Robotics builds modular actuators, control hardware, kits and custom robot systems. Its R-, T- and H-series modules combine motors, gearing, sensing, networking and control electronics, allowing developers to assemble arms, mobile platforms, tracked mechanisms and specialised machines without designing each joint from scratch.

The company supports the hardware with APIs, engineering tools and application assistance for research, industrial automation, hazardous environments and field robotics. NASA awarded HEBI a Phase II SBIR contract in January 2026 for modular space actuators, following other government and industrial projects. Product suitability depends on torque, speed, environmental and communication requirements at the complete-system level.
