About
We’re Romotive, a team of nerds obsessed with building an affordable, fun personal robot named Romo. By combining smartphones with a mobile base, we create robots that do awesome things (remote telepresence, autonomous navigation, machine vision).
Our first product, Romo, is an iDevice-powered robot that lets you video chat with anyone, anywhere in the world. You can customize Romo’s behavior through a graphical programming interface that’s n00b-friendly. Teaching our bot new behaviors is easy - just update the app.
Our investors believe we’ll change the world by putting a robot in every home in America. We’re well funded by Sequoia, SV Angel/Ron Conway, Mike Arrington, Chris Dixon, Stanford University, Lerer Ventures, Zappos' CEO Tony Hsieh, and other stellar investors.
We’re a tight tribe. We currently design our hardware and software in The Ogden, an apartment building in downtown Las Vegas where most of us live and work. This summer, we are moving the company to San Francisco where we will continue to build our team and product.
Our mission is simple: build awesome robots that make normal peoples’ lives better. We eat, breathe, and sleep robots, and we're aggressively hiring people who feel the same way.
