About Libra Robotics

YC company profile

The robot workforce for infrastructure of the AI era

Infrastructure faces rapid expansion and labor shortages. Today, robots struggle to scale to meet customers’ high-mix work needs. Libra builds AI that engineers robots for new tasks across embodiments. We go from each new infra task to field-deployable robots 10x faster. Today, our robots are working on solar farms and piloting in data centers. Contractors pay for completed work as a service, not robots.
