At its Glen Cove, New York, facility, the company designs nearly every robot part and assembles every final product in-house. By 2027, it plans to manufacture everything in the United States. The goal is a robot so intuitive that operators do not need a manual. “Standard Bots makes robot arms. And we do the hardware, the software, and the AI stack, and we think of our robots as really the ‘power tools’ for the 21st century,” says founder and CEO Evan Beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making a robot that intuitively requires careful integration of mechanically and electrically complex systems. Standard Bots develops six-axis robot arms for applications including machine tending, welding, palletizing, pick-and-place, surface finishing, and inspection. Each task places different demands on the range of motion, payload, tooling, accuracy, and integration with surrounding equipment. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mechanical Engineering Manager Ben Niewood says the company is working to remove the barriers that have made robots too difficult, expensive, or poorly suited to the work users need them to perform. “We are trying to make it easier for the whole American industrial base to automate and use robotics, to automate tasks that humans can’t or don’t want to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F09\u002Fimage1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71627\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F09\u002Fimage1.jpg.webp 800w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F09\u002Fimage1-300x169.jpg.webp 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F09\u002Fimage1-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>Confirming Before Buying and Manufacturing\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Standard Bots buys components or releases parts for manufacturing, engineers need confidence that the robot will fit together and perform its intended motion.
