Provinces Represented
Vancouver, BC
Canada's leading humanoid robotics company. Builds the Phoenix general-purpose humanoid powered by the Carbon AI cognitive architecture. Partnered with Magna International for automotive deployment.
Montreal, QC
World-renowned for lightweight, assistive robotic arms. Their Gen3 and Link 6 cobots are used in research, healthcare, and industry globally. A Canadian robotics success story.
Kitchener, ON
Builds autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for material handling and logistics. OTTO Motors is their industrial division. Acquired by Rockwell Automation in 2023 for $1.4B — Canada's largest robotics exit.
Brampton, ON
Built the Canadarm, Canadarm2, and Dextre for the International Space Station. Currently developing the Canadarm3 for the Lunar Gateway. Canada's most iconic robotics achievement.
Quebec City, QC
World leader in collaborative robot accessories — grippers, force sensors, and vision systems. Their products are used with Universal Robots, FANUC, and others worldwide.
Kitchener, ON · Autonomous Floor Cleaning
Makes Neo, an autonomous floor-scrubbing robot deployed in commercial buildings, airports, and malls across North America. AI-powered navigation and fleet management.
Calgary, AB · Robotic Warehouse Systems
Reimagines supply chain with 3D robotic storage and retrieval systems. Vertical goods-to-person fulfilment reduces warehouse footprint by 85%. Backed by significant funding.
Toronto, ON · Satellite & Space Tech
While primarily a communications company, Kepler is developing autonomous satellite servicing capabilities and contributes to Canada's space robotics ecosystem.
Toronto, ON · Surgical Robotics
Developing the Enos surgical robotic system for minimally invasive surgery. Aims to bring robotic surgery capabilities to more hospitals through a more compact, cost-effective design.
Kelowna, BC · Agricultural Robotics
Builds the LaserWeeder — an autonomous robot that uses precision lasers to eliminate weeds without chemicals. Deployed on farms across North America.
Calgary, AB · Oilfield Robotics
Develops autonomous robots for oil and gas operations — pipeline inspection, wellsite monitoring, and hazardous environment operations in Canadian energy facilities.
Salt Spring Island, BC · Drone & UAS Services
Canada's first company approved for beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) drone operations. Provides emergency response, infrastructure inspection, and delivery drone services.
Toronto, ON · Textile Robotics / Smart Clothing
Develops SKIIN — connected textiles with embedded sensors. While not traditional robotics, their bio-sensing wearables represent the intersection of robotics and healthcare.
Montreal, QC · Humanoid Robots
Norwegian humanoid company with Canadian operations. Building the EVE humanoid for security, reception, and commercial applications. Canadian AI talent contributes to their autonomy stack.
Multiple (CA contributors) · ROS / Open Source
While US-headquartered, many ROS (Robot Operating System) core contributors are Canadian. Canada's universities are among the largest contributors to the ROS ecosystem that powers most humanoid robots.
Ottawa, ON · Robotics Semiconductors
Ottawa operations develop FPGAs and processors used in robotics control systems. Their radiation-hardened chips are used in space robotics.
North Vancouver, BC · Welding Robotics
Makes the Spool Welding Robot (SWR) — the world's first collaborative welding robot for pipe fabrication. Used in oil & gas, shipbuilding, and construction.
Vaughan, ON · Delivery Drones
Designs, develops, and tests drone delivery solutions for commercial applications across Canada. Partners with Canada Post and various Indigenous communities for remote delivery.
Ottawa, ON · Defence Robotics
Develops unmanned systems, autonomous vehicles, and robotic platforms for the Canadian Armed Forces and allied militaries.
Markham, ON · Robot Vision Systems
AI-powered 3D vision systems for industrial robots. Their software guides robot arms for precision tasks in automotive, electronics, and consumer goods manufacturing.
Richmond, BC · Robot Vision Cameras
Leading manufacturer of machine vision cameras used in robotics. Their cameras are in thousands of robots worldwide. Acquired by FLIR (now Teledyne) but maintains BC operations.
Montreal, QC · Industrial & Collaborative Robots
ABB's Canadian division manufactures and deploys industrial and collaborative robots (GoFa, YuMi). Major presence in automotive, mining, and pulp & paper automation.
Mississauga, ON · Industrial Robots
Canadian subsidiary of the world's largest industrial robot manufacturer. Provides robots, CNCs, and factory automation for Canadian manufacturing.
Richmond Hill, ON · Navigation for Autonomous Systems
