It’s time to get robots right
At Rapid Robotics, we’re building easy and affordable manufacturing solutions starting with the world's first affordable robotic machine operator


We understand the problems manufacturers are facing today
You want to grow, scale and thrive
But America’s machine operator shortage is holding you back. You can do the work. You can win the business. You just need a way to operate your machines.
That's why we created the Rapid Machine Operator
A low-cost robot that gets to work on day one


Making robotic automation affordable and accessible
Conventional robots are too expensive
They’re pricey to begin with, and integration and training make them even more so. For most facilities, the ROI just isn’t there.
The Rapid Machine Operator is different

It’s an all-in-one solution: no up-front capital costs, no systems integrators, programming or AI training
Everything comes included for an affordable monthly subscription. We handle setup and ongoing maintenance, so you can focus on winning customers and growing your business.

We have teams ready to help throughout the US
Including the Bay Area, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois, Boston, Southern California, and Texas, with more regions to come.
