Robotnik was founded in 2002 in Valencia, Spain, by Roberto Guzmán and Rafael López as a company focused on industry and service robots. In 2004, Robotnik began a line of collaboration with universities, research centers and European companies through its participation in the VI European Framework Program. The successful development of Robotrans (an autonomous indoor transport forklift) allowed Robotnik to be partners in the European projects MASMICRO and RESCUER where they developed some of the first mobile platforms of the company.
In 2005, Robotnik signed partnership agreements with international companies in the robotic sector such as Barrett Technology and Schunk. Subsequently, these agreements have been extended to companies like Kinova, Shadow and Aldebaran Robotics.
Robotnik is involved in several engineering projects and R&D projects in mobile service robotics.
