About Us

Our close-knit team has been developing transformative robotics since 2022. By staying small and technical, we’ve focused entirely on engineering excellence, driven by the belief that a superior product speaks louder than any marketing campaign.

At Hercules Robots, we believe a robot should embrace its mechanical nature rather than mimic the human form. Our goal is to build machines that are unapologetically robotic, designed to surpass human limits in strength and endurance—a mission reflected in our name, inspired by the legendary strength of the demigod Hercules.

Our Vision

We believe that with the maturation of three key technologies - generative AI, computer vision and robotics mechatronic engineering - the time is coming for the world’s first

“Super Friendly, Everyone Got To Have One” Humanoid Robots.

This is why we are focusing on the most important aspect of it which is -

To make super capable, affordable humanoid hands

The Brains

Henry Hyde-Thomson

Since founding Speech Machines, I’ve been captivated by the idea of talking to machines, watching how advances in speech recognition, synthesis, and natural language processing brought us Siri, Alexa, and other interactive AIs.

Inspired by the idea of machines that can move, interact, and adapt within human environments. With the advances in deep reinforcement learning, computer vision, and mechanical engineering, I’m more passionate than ever about developing humanoids that seamlessly bridge the gap between technology and human capability.

Greatest man alive

Rohit TANTIYA

Ever since I first saw robots on television back in 2007, I have been captivated by complex robotic assemblies. The idea of machines performing the exact tasks I was doing was incredibly fascinating to me, sparking a lifelong interest in automation and machine behavior.

With this passion as my guide, I embarked on an educational journey in Mechatronics that took me through India, France, the UK, and New Zealand. Today, I use that global expertise to produce the complex robotic assemblies I once only dreamed of seeing come to life.

Our Beliefs

At Hercules Robots, we're driven by a bold vision: to make high-degree-of-freedom (DOF) systems more accessible and affordable. We’re currently focused on an ambitious project to create an arm that replicates the complexity and functionality of a human arm.

With the two A’s in mind:

By combining innovative engineering with cutting-edge technologies, we aim to provide high-DOF solutions that are within reach for researchers and developers, and when combined with cobot arms can create a new generation of highly capable robotic systems.
