Vanika is the first AI copilot built for robotics engineers - one place to design, build, simulate, and ship robots. Quietly in development. Launching this year.
We'll be in touch when early access opens. Until then - keep building.
The first six weeks are spent stitching tools together. The next six are spent keeping them in sync. Somewhere in there, you're supposed to build a robot.
It's not the hard parts that slow us down. It's everything in between.
Building a robot is one of the most complete engineering challenges that exists. Mechanical design, firmware, simulation, sourcing, deployment, operations. Each one is a discipline. Each one has its own tools.
None of those tools talk to each other. So a change in one means manual updates in four others. Most of the time isn't spent on the hard problems - it's spent on the small ones, repeated over and over.
Software teams solved this years ago. Robotics teams are still doing it by hand.
Three shifts have arrived at the same time. They will not be in this configuration again.
Frontier models can hold a project in their head, plan across steps, and use real tools. That makes a copilot for serious engineering work finally buildable - not as a demo, as a daily tool.
Humanoids, autonomous warehouses, agricultural robots, surgical robotics - the category has investor attention, talent attention, and customer urgency all in the same year. Teams are forming faster than the infrastructure to support them.
You don't have to be in Silicon Valley to build robotics anymore. Strong engineering teams are forming in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Singapore, Seoul, Munich, Lagos. The next generation of robots will be built by them - and they need tools as good as the ambition.
We’ve experienced the challenges of building robots with disconnected tools and complex workflows. Vanika brings robot design, coding, simulation, hardware integration, and fleet management into one platform – helping engineers move from robot concept to real-world deployment faster.
“Building robots should feel like building robots — not like wrestling tools.”
— The Vanika mission
Design, code, simulate, and deploy robots in one platform. Join the Vanika waitlist for early access.
We'll be in touch within two working days. Tell us more anytime at hello@vanika.ai.
