An engineering company that teaches, researches and builds.
VEL Robotics is a robotics and advanced technology company focused on education, research and development, and the design and production of robotic systems.
Bridging learning and manufacturing
Robotics skills are often learned in one place, researched in another and turned into products somewhere else. VEL Robotics brings the three together.
Our education programs produce engineers who understand real hardware. Our R&D turns research questions into working prototypes. Our production team turns proven prototypes into products. Each stage informs the next.

Explore ProductsWhat we value
Learn by building
Understanding comes from making things work, in classrooms, labs and on the shop floor.
Engineering rigour
Requirements, testing and validation come before claims.
Honest capability
We say what our technology does today and label what is still research.
Accessible technology
Robotics should be within reach of every school, college and business.
Build capability locally
We invest in indigenous technology and in the engineers who create it.
Partnership
The best outcomes come from working closely with the people we serve.
Leadership
The people guiding VEL Robotics’ education, research and engineering work.
