Work with us

We work with industry, small businesses and entrepreneurs of all kinds to build robots that make ideas work.

Off

The world is standing on the verge of a revolution in robotics. The kind of life-changing innovations we’ve been dreaming about for decades are now only steps away. Sheffield is taking those steps, and we’re looking for partners to join us on the journey.

Through responsible, ethical research, we’re pioneering new products and processes that will transform energy, healthcare and  manufacturing. 

We’re already working with some of the biggest global names in industry, but our vision goes beyond that.

We want to give ambitious people a platform to develop their ideas. We want this revolution to benefit everyone, to drive economic growth, to create jobs and improve lives. To achieve that, we also need to work with small businesses and entrepreneurs of all kinds.

Does that sound like the kind of adventure you want to be a part of?


Consultancy
