M4S Take

Production footprint: A 66,000-sq.-ft. / 6,131.6-sq.-m Long Island facility is expected to be fully operational by the first quarter of 2027.

  • Distribution foundation: RoboStore has supplied Unitree robots to more than 4,000 U.S. customers and is Unitree Robotics’ primary U.S. distributor.
  • Domestic integration push: Robo Inc. is a U.S.-based robotics manufacturing and systems integration company focused on deployable, application-specific systems.
  • Compliance emphasis: Teddy Haggerty says the platform is built around U.S.-based assembly, localized data infrastructure, domestic integration, and American compliance.
  • Lifecycle support: Robo Inc. will support installed robots with parts, repairs, upgrades, security-and-safety integration, U.S. regulatory compliance, and workflow integration.

From distribution to deployment

RoboStore is moving beyond moving boxes.

The timing is notable: RoboStore has provided Unitree robots to more than 4,000 U.S. customers, while Unitree Robotics has filed for an IPO in Shanghai with a valuation of more than $900 million. Robo Inc. is positioned as the domestic layer for customers that want deployment, integration, service, and compliance rather than a speculative all-purpose machine.

“With U.S.-based assembly, localized data infrastructure, and domestic integration, Robo Inc. will create a robotics platform built for American compliance,”

said Teddy Haggerty, founder and CEO of RoboStore and Robo Inc.

A hardware-agnostic integration model

Robo Inc. says it will be a hardware-agnostic integrator, choosing components and platforms based on application requirements. That matters for manufacturing and operations teams that do not need a demo robot; they need a cell, workflow, or site-specific deployment that survives contact with production.

The company also says it will design security and safety measures into its integration process, comply with U.S. regulations, and plan for integration into existing workflows. Its experience base includes thousands of robot purchases, deployments, repairs, and integration requests from customers including Harvard, MIT, Amazon, and NVIDIA.

“RoboStore gave us a front-row seat to what customers actually need from robotics,” he added. “Rather than more far-out promises, customers want solutions that can be deployed now, built around a specific job and supported over time. We’re moving beyond selling robots to building a localized ecosystem that allows U.S. organizations to put robotics to work responsibly and at scale.”

Long Island capacity and continuity

Robo Inc. plans to open a 66,000-sq.-ft. production facility on Long Island in New York — 6,131.6-sq.-m — expected to be fully operational by the first quarter of 2027.

For existing users, continuity is part of the pitch: Robo Inc. will support RoboStore’s installed base and current inventory, including parts, repairs, and upgrades, and the Roboverse developer community will continue under the Robo Inc. umbrella.
