About Optimus Robotics

Founded in 2019, Optimus Robotics was created to lessen the STEM gap via robotics classes, interviews, and journalism.

Our classes, targeted to low income elementary schoolers, were created to inspire interest in engineering.

We interview leaders in robotics to hear expert insights, inviting founders, inventors, and CEOs to share their stories.

Our article series, all published on external sources, are meant to excite readers about up and coming robotics developments.
