About
Flexiv Robotics is a robotics company that designs and manufactures adaptive robots combining industrial-grade force control with AI and computer vision to enable human-like hand-eye coordination for industrial automation. Founded by Stanford-trained roboticists, Flexiv''s robots can handle tasks that require delicate force sensing — such as assembly, surface treatment, product testing, and polishing — that traditional rigid industrial robots cannot perform without damaging parts or requiring highly controlled fixtures. The robots'' embedded AI continuously adapts to variations in part position, orientation, and surface characteristics.
