We cover robotics the way it deserves — technically, honestly, relentlessly.
Founded in 2022 by three robotics engineers tired of breathless hype cycles, ROBOTICA exists to document the machines shaping tomorrow — and the people building them.
The brief.
To be the best source of technical robotics journalism on the internet. Not breathless „next big thing” coverage — actual engineering depth, honest assessment, and the questions nobody wants to ask.
We write for engineers, investors, policy-makers, and the curious public. If you care whether a robot actually works — not just whether it demos well — you are our audience.
Three rules we live by.
Technical truth first
We verify claims with sources, whitepapers, and shop-floor visits. No press release gets published unquestioned.
Speed with substance
News breaks fast. We break it faster — but never at the expense of depth. Every fast-take gets a long-form follow-up.
Skeptical optimism
We believe robotics will reshape the world. That makes us more skeptical of hype, not less. Both things can be true.
The team building this.
Four editors, twelve contributing engineers, zero publicists.
Maya Chen
Editor in ChiefFormer Boston Dynamics control engineer. Writes the weekly teardown column.
Dr. Ravi Sundaram
Senior AI EditorPhD in reinforcement learning. Covers embodied AI and control policies.
Helena Voss
Industry CorrespondentTen years covering manufacturing. Translates factory reality into prose.
Jin-Ho Park
Hardware LeadMechatronics engineer. Reviews every actuator, sensor, and gripper we can get.
A machine is either working in reality or it is not. We write for the reality.
