About

A company building the physical layer of AI.

Lemon Robotics was founded in 2026 by a team of researchers and engineers from leading AI labs and hardware manufacturers. We believe the next decade of AI happens in atoms, not just bits.

We believe that building great robotics takes patience, rigorous engineering, and long-term thinking. Our focus is on developing full-stack home robotics systems that can bring embodied AI into everyday life.
