About RoboForce
RoboForce is an artificial intelligence and robotics firm developing a "Robo-Labor" system to automate strenuous, hazardous, and repetitive industrial tasks. Founded in 2023 by Leo Ma and Calvin Zhou, the company emerged from stealth in January 2025. Ma, the CEO, previously co-founded the Nasdaq-listed company Cyngn and his experience, which includes visiting over 200 manufacturing facilities and solar farms, directly informs the company's mission to address labor shortages and safety risks in demanding industries. The company is headquartered in Milpitas, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Read full description
The company's core offering is a robotic workforce intended to supplant the need for human labor in dangerous environments. RoboForce's business model centers on providing these AI-powered robotic systems to industries facing critical labor shortages, such as utility-scale solar, mining, manufacturing, and space exploration. By deploying robots that can withstand extreme conditions, clients can potentially accelerate project completion, reduce costs, and enhance worker safety. The company states its systems can shorten deployment times by 90% and reduce labor costs by 33%. As of early 2025, RoboForce has raised a total of $15 million in capital through two funding rounds, with investors including Nobel Laureate Myron Scholes, Softbank VC co-founder Gary Rieschel, and Carnegie Mellon University.
RoboForce's flagship product is the "Titan" line of mobile manipulation robots. These robots are designed for high-precision work in challenging outdoor and industrial settings, featuring all-terrain mobility. Titan's key capabilities include the ability to pick, place, press, twist, and connect objects with 1mm of precision. It boasts a payload capacity of 40kg, an arm reach of 1100mm, and an 8-hour runtime. The system combines modular hardware, available in wheeled and tracked versions, with a self-evolving spatial AI co-pilot that allows it to learn from its environment. The company publicly debuted its technology at Intersolar 2025 and is launching several pilot programs with customers throughout the year.
