Robot Dealer Launches U.S. Factory to Meet Demand

After helping 4,500 customers deploy robots across America, one distributor discovered something surprising: companies don't want sci-fi dreams, they want solutions that work right now.

RoboStore, which has brought more than 1,500 humanoid and four-legged robots to North America, just launched Robo Inc., a new American robotics manufacturer. The move comes after the New York company spent years listening to real customer needs at places like Harvard, MIT, Amazon, and NVIDIA.

"Rather than more far-out promises, customers want solutions that can be deployed now, built around a specific job and supported over time," said Teddy Haggerty, founder and CEO. The shift reflects a growing reality: American businesses are ready for robots, but they need practical support, not hype.

The new company plans to open a 66,000 square foot production facility on Long Island by early 2027. Unlike flashy startups promising one robot that does everything, Robo Inc. is taking a different approach: they'll match the right robot to each specific job.

That practical mindset comes from experience. RoboStore's team of 4,000 developers has handled thousands of purchases, repairs, and real-world deployments. They've seen what works and what doesn't when robots leave the lab and enter actual warehouses, campuses, and facilities.

The company also addresses growing concerns about data security and foreign technology. By assembling robots in America with local data infrastructure, they're building compliance and safety measures directly into every system.

The Ripple Effect

This shift toward localized robotics manufacturing could reshape how American companies adopt automation. When businesses know they can get same-day support, U.S.-compliant systems, and robots designed for their specific challenges, the barrier to trying automation drops significantly.

The approach mirrors how Western companies once set up local operations to serve international markets. Now foreign robotics firms are establishing American subsidiaries to maintain market access amid trade restrictions while better serving local customers.

For the 4,500 existing customers RoboStore has served, nothing changes: parts, repairs, and upgrades continue as normal. But for future buyers, there's now a path to American-made robotic solutions backed by years of real-world learning.

The message is clear: the future of workplace robots isn't about waiting for the perfect humanoid helper, it's about putting practical automation to work today.
