What We Do
T-ROBOTICS is a pioneering AI-driven robotics software company, headquartered in Silicon Valley, USA, and Trondheim, Norway. The company is redefining automation with built-in robotic intelligence, empowering industries to achieve unprecedented flexibility, adaptability, and autonomy in robotic operations.
Built on over a decade of ground-breaking research and development, T-ROBOTICS fundamentally reimagines how robots are programmed. Traditional “point-to-point” programming — the industrial standard since the 1960s — is slow, rigid, and fragile. T-ROBOTICS replaces it with ActGPT, an AI-powered platform with pre-trained skills for industrial robots, delivering effortless automation adoption and execution with zero learning curve.
By combining generative AI, computer vision, and adaptive control, ActGPT enables robots to understand context, plan intelligently, and execute complex industrial tasks autonomously — from machining and assembly to inspection and material handling. This shift empowers manufacturers to scale automation faster, reduce downtime, and achieve continuous improvement without reliance on expert programmers.
