Revolutionizing Robotics: Cognibotics’ entry into the U.S. market

Cognibotics was born from a group of robotics enthusiasts and former ABB engineers, including the main founders Klas and Adam Nilsson. Their collective experience and a desire to provide robots for tasks currently lacking machine solutions led them to establish Cognibotics.

The company specializes in advanced robotics solutions, focusing on its flagship products—the SigmaTau and HKM1800 robots. These robots are designed to meet unique market needs with emphasis on high precision and energy efficiency, supporting tasks where traditional robots falter.

Upon deciding to enter the American market, Cognibotics faced significant hurdles including establishing a suitable workspace and accessing the right infrastructure. Initially based in Connecticut, the founders struggled to find the right environment that could support both the intricate physical prototyping and the collaborative needs essential for their innovation-driven business. This challenge was critical as they needed a base to not only develop but also showcase their innovative robotics solutions to prospective clients and partners in the United States.

Newlab played a pivotal role in Cognibotics' successful U.S. market entry and expansion. By providing the robust infrastructure required to develop hardware, Newlab enabled Cognibotics to refine their prototypes and scale their operations efficiently. The access to 3D printing, machining parts, and prototyping workshops helped accelerate their product development cycles. With their SigmaTau robot, Cognibotics was able to find product-market fit with trans-Atlantic defense, aerospace, and automotive companies.

Through Newlab, Cognibotics not only found a physical address but a strategic launchpad into the U.S. market.
