About

Orangewood Labs makes industrial automation accessible to small businesses with RoboGPT, its AI‑powered robotic arm you can program in plain English. Whether you need bin picking, visual inspection, powder coating, or even bartending, just describe the task and watch the arm learn—no code, no integrator fees, no months of setup.

Their secret is a modular cobot platform running on-device vision and motion AI, combined with a simple web dashboard for live monitoring and tweak‑on‑the‑fly adjustments. By pre‑training common manufacturing routines and streamlining hardware integration, Orangewood delivers performance that rivals six‑figure systems at a fraction of the cost.

Founded in 2016 by Abhinav Das and backed by Founders Inc., Y Combinator,, and others, Orangewood Labs has already deployed arms in workshops and warehouses across North America and India. With its “robots-as-a-service” model and rapid time‑to‑value, the company is on a mission to replace repetitive labor with smart automation—so every small manufacturer can compete at scale.
