Designing Open Robotic Futures for Meaningful Impact

Are you passionate about robotics, interaction design, or sustainable technological development? Do you want to explore how machines can learn, move, and collaborate with humans in expressive, intuitive, and responsible ways? Whether you’re a master’s student, PhD candidate, postdoctoral researcher, or a research associate, we invite you to connect with us.

At INIT Robots, we imagine and build new kinds of robotic systems — ones that are open, modular, and centered on real-world users. Our work spans expressive motion design, swarm robotics, lighter-than-air vehicles, and robotics for ecological agriculture. We collaborate with artists, scientists, and communities to shape a robotics culture that is interdisciplinary, inclusive, and eco-conscious.

We are always looking for curious minds, creative spirits, and committed engineers. If your interests intersect with ours — or if you bring something we haven’t thought of yet — reach out.
