Builders with a shared ambition.

To create industrial robots intelligent enough to make the hardest, most complex physical work as simple as pressing a button.

Founded in 2018, Okibo brings together people from robotics, AI, computer vision, mechanical engineering and operations, working toward that goal from Israel, the US and Europe.

A team devoted to one thing.

Our leadership brings decades of experience from the Technion, Talpiot, the Israeli Air Force, Rafael and Formula racing, and shares the same drive: building robots that are genuinely smart, and making them work in the real world.
