Rice Robotics was founded in 2020 to design, manufacture, and operate service robots that can be deployed anywhere. Combining AI and fleet management software enables the next generation of corporations to deploy a robotics workforce at scale without requiring expert knowledge.

We are a group of young creatives from UC Berkeley, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the University of Science & Technology who have the passion and conviction to use Hong Kong as the platform to build a regional, scalable robotics business and bring robotics products to the world.

With over 500 robots deployed worldwide, Rice Robotics has demonstrated its impact on the global market. Additionally, it has raised $7 million in the last funding round in 2023, further fueling its mission to revolutionize the robotics industry.
