Founded in Chennai, grown across the world. We engineer the systems that build the products you use every day.
Ki Robotics was founded in 2008 in Chennai, India, by a team of automation engineers who had spent decades watching factories struggle with fragmented systems — robots that didn't talk to ERPs, planning tools that didn't see the production floor, intelligence that lived in spreadsheets.
Today, Ki operates 7 global offices, deploys systems in 47 countries, and powers production for some of the most demanding manufacturers in the world — from FMCG container plants in India to medical device cleanrooms in Japan to EV battery lines in Germany.
Our mission is unchanged: integrated automation that treats the factory as one organism, not a collection of parts.
Ki Robotics begins as an automation consultancy serving plastics manufacturers in Tamil Nadu.
Launch of the KI-1000 series — the company's first proprietary six-axis robotic arm.
