Personal and Work Assistant Robots
About Twin Star Robotics
At Twin Star Robotics, we believe the best robots don't replace people—they empower them. Our mission is to create intelligent, approachable robotic assistants that support businesses, worksites, public venues, education, and events through communication, information, and interactive technology.
From customer-facing environments to industrial worksites, we design robotics with real-world challenges in mind. Our first platform, EDA (Evolving Digital Assistant), is being built to demonstrate how a single robotic platform can adapt to the unique needs of different industries while remaining approachable and easy to use.
As an Oregon-based team, we're combining engineering, software development, and creative design to make advanced robotics more practical, more accessible, and more human. This is just the beginning of what we believe robotics can become.
