Polish Robotics Companies: A 2026 Map of the Industry

Polish robotics has no single center

Ask about "Polish robotics companies" and there is no one-line answer such as "it's Warsaw" or "it's one sector". The landscape is scattered, both geographically and technologically: from a startup building androids with synthetic muscles, through Poznań makers of walking robots for sewer inspection, to Warsaw teams teaching robots to pick up objects in warehouses. Below we bring together the companies readers ask about most often, using data we could confirm in sources and avoiding guesswork where sources ran out.

Humanoids and biomimetic robots

Clone Robotics

Clone Robotics is the most talked-about Polish name in the humanoid robots segment. The company was founded in November 2021 in Wrocław by Wrocław University of Science and Technology graduates, as Chip.pl reports; it also has a second office in Mountain View, California.

Instead of conventional electric actuators, Clone Robotics uses its own Myofiber technology: hydraulically driven synthetic muscles meant to reproduce the contraction of human skeletal muscle. According to Interesting Engineering the robot's skeleton reproduces the 206 bones of the human body (with minor fusions) joined by artificial ligaments. Figures on its sensory system come only from the manufacturer and are not repeated here.

Product development has proceeded in stages: in 2023 the Clone Hand was shown, in 2024 a torso prototype, and in early December 2024 the company announced the full-body Clone Alpha, taking pre-orders for the first 279 units (Chip.pl, Interesting Engineering). In 2025 it presented the Protoclone V1 prototype, which it describes as the world's first bipedal musculoskeletal robot (a manufacturer claim). Mass production of a consumer model has not yet been confirmed.

Funding: the size of Clone Robotics' funding rounds is not publicly confirmed, so we do not give it.

Quadruped and inspection robots

MAB Robotics

MAB Robotics of Poznań is the only Polish maker of an industrial quadruped robot that we could confirm. The company's roots go back to 2016 and the KN Mechatron student research group at Poznań University of Technology; the company was formally established in 2019, according to its official history. Jakub Bartoszek is co-founder and CTO.

The flagship product is the Honey Badger walking robot (generation 4.0 debuted in 2024, and 5.0 is now on the maker's site), a design with an IP67 rating that, according to the manufacturer, can walk underwater (specification), conceived as a universal sensor platform in the quadruped robots category. According to the company history, the MAB Robotics Honey Badger 4.0 carried out its first inspection services in district heating tunnels and sewer channels in Poznań, and in 2025 MAB Robotics was among the winners of the RBR50 Innovation Awards of the trade outlet The Robot Report. Besides the robot itself, MAB Robotics designs and sells its own motion-drive components (MD-series brushless motor controllers, MA-series actuators and encoders), supplied to research centers and universities, among others. The company states that it is certified to ISO 9001:2015.

Prices for the Honey Badger are not published. Sales are handled through direct contact with the sales team, and the offer is tailored to the customer's sensor package. There is also no publicly confirmed data on the amount of investment funding raised; information circulating in some startup registries does not have a source reliable enough to be cited here as fact.

Warehouse and logistics robotics

Nomagic

Nomagic is a Warsaw company founded in 2017 by Kacper Nowicki, Marek Cygan and Tristan d'Orgeval (company website). It develops what is known as physical artificial intelligence (Physical AI) for warehouse automation: robots for picking, packing, sorting and quality control, run by an "AI Brain" model based in part on vision-language-action models. Among its customers the company lists (per TechCrunch, February 2025) Arvato, ASOS, Brack, Fiege and Komplett, among others; in October 2025 Nomagic announced that it had been selected by Zalando, and in September 2025 a strategic cooperation with Vanderlande (company news).

In February 2025, Nomagic announced a 44 million USD Series B round with EBRD, Khosla Ventures and Almaz Capital plus venture debt from the European Investment Bank; the company said its annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew 220 percent over the previous year, without disclosing the amount (TechCrunch). The funds are to be used to develop the technology and to enter the North American market. The company is one of the rare examples in Poland of warehouse robotics that has attracted capital on the scale of tens of millions of dollars.

VersaBox

VersaBox grew out of an initiative by employees of Warsaw University of Technology. According to the company's own history, it began with winning a tender to build a mobile warehouse robot, and the company claims "10 years" of experience delivering AMR/AGV intralogistics platforms; we do not establish an exact founding date. The company designs and integrates autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and automated guided vehicles (AGV) in the Versabot series, supported by the Autonomy@Work digital fleet-management platform. This segment is described in more detail in mobile robots. VersaBox's largest AMR installation in Poland covers, according to the company, 30 robots fully integrated with a customer's production lines and digital systems.

In September 2020 (announcement of 21 September 2020), VersaBox raised a total of 11 million PLN (≈ EUR 2.52 million at NBP rate 4.3641 of 21 October 2026) from the funds Fidiasz EVC (created by Krzysztof Domarecki, founder of the Selena Group), SpeedUp Energy Innovation, Movens VC and RST Ventures for Earth (VersaBox). The company now presents itself as a maker of AMR and AGV robots "in the WDX Group" (VersaBox).

Research institutes: the Łukasiewicz network

Łukasiewicz – PIAP

The former Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements (PIAP) has for years been part of the Łukasiewicz Research Network, a network of research institutes formed by merging previously separate research and development units. The institute's current official name is Łukasiewicz Research Network – Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements PIAP (Łukasiewicz – PIAP for short), based in Warsaw.

The institute works on special-purpose mobile robotics and on industrial automation. Its portfolio includes the PIAP GRYF (a medium EOD robot) and PIAP IBIS (about 320 kg) bomb-disposal robots and the PIAP HUNTeR combat reconnaissance robot, first presented at MSPO 2023 (PIAP, 2023; PIAP, 2024) — designs intended for the armed forces and security services. Łukasiewicz – PIAP also provides commercial engineering and R&D services to industry, and its solutions have been presented at trade fairs abroad, among other places. The institute is also sometimes named as a research partner of other players in this overview, for example MAB Robotics.

Who else is worth watching

Beyond the five players described above, the Polish robotics map includes further companies that do not fit strictly into the category of robot makers but are closely tied to it technologically: AIUT, with its AFORMIC-brand autonomous mobile robots for intralogistics, and Etisoft of Gliwice, a maker of labels and Auto ID (RFID) systems that also offers AGV/AMR robots and vision systems. None of these firms, however, has a standalone robotic product confirmed well enough to be described here with the same certainty as the companies above. We therefore mention them only as a direction for further exploration, not as fully verified profiles.

The growing number of such players, supported by programs subsidizing robotization (a topic we cover in more depth in “Poland's Robotization Tax Relief”, on Poland's robotization tax relief, known as ulga na robotyzację), suggests that the list of Polish robotics companies will grow faster in the coming years than in the last decade. That is especially true in the humanoid segment, whose global market forecasts we discuss in “Humanoid Robot Market Forecasts”.
