About Standard Bots
Standard Bots is a robotics company that develops AI-native industrial robots and software intended to make automation more accessible to manufacturers. Its stated mission is “to expand human capacity with the world’s most accessible robots.” The company describes its technology as designed for people to teach robots by demonstration and plain-language interaction, combining artificial intelligence with conventional robot controls.
The company’s robot lineup includes the Spark, Core, and Thor arms, which differ in payload capacity and reach. Standard Bots also lists Droid as a product in private beta. The company presents the models as sharing the same software and AI platform, with specifications suited to different tasks. Product pages give payload capacities of 7, 18, and 30 kilograms for Spark, Core, and Thor respectively.
Standard Bots promotes applications across manufacturing, including machine tending and CNC loading, welding, palletizing and depalletizing, case packing, assembly, inspection, finishing, and sorting. Its website also describes fastening, grinding, sanding, dispensing, and painting applications. The company says its AI robots can observe and respond to their environment, and that operators can teach tasks through demonstration rather than relying solely on traditional programming.
The company serves manufacturers and factory-floor teams, with its website referring to use at hundreds of U.S. manufacturers. It also works with colleges, universities, and trade schools on a certified robotics curriculum and an all-in-one robotics kit. The company’s products and services therefore span industrial robot hardware, software, and educational resources.
Standard Bots is based in Glen Cove, New York. Its public materials describe the company as building robots and supporting deployments from its New York location. The company’s leadership page identifies Evan Beard and David Golden as co-founders, along with other executives overseeing operations, manufacturing, hardware, software, product, applied AI, implementation, and customer experience.
Standard Bots frames its mission around expanding human capacity and making robots easier for people to buy and use. Its website characterizes industrial robots as tools that can help manufacturers increase production capacity, and positions accessible automation as a way to support a wider range of manufacturers and applications. These statements describe the company’s publicly stated mission and product philosophy rather than a detailed account of internal working practices.
