Autonomique Welcomes Robin Zheng as Head of North American Sales

We are pleased to welcome Robin Zheng to Autonomique as our new Head of North American Sales.

Robin brings experience spanning international business, market development, robotics, and the commercialization of emerging technologies. He previously led Pudu Robotics’ Americas business during its early expansion across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. More recently, he worked with advanced medical and robotics-enabled technologies, maintaining a consistent focus on bringing emerging technologies into new markets and real-world applications.

This experience makes Robin a strong addition to Autonomique as we expand our work with manufacturers across North America.

At Autonomique, we are building production-grade Physical AI for manufacturing. Our goal is to give robots the intelligence to handle complex, multi-step workflows, adapt to changes in their environment, and learn new tasks, while still delivering the precision, speed, and reliability required on the factory floor. We are already deploying our technology on manufacturing production lines and learning directly from real-world operations.

We believe the next generation of industrial robots must do more than repeat a fixed sequence of programmed movements. They need to operate in high-mix environments, respond intelligently when conditions change, and complete entire workflows that have traditionally been difficult to automate.

As the technology becomes more capable, working closely with manufacturers will be essential. The best robotics products will not be built in isolation. They will be shaped by real production challenges, operational constraints, and a clear understanding of where greater intelligence and adaptability can create meaningful value.

For Robin, the opportunity reflects a lesson he has learned throughout his career: demonstrating what a technology can do is only the beginning. The greater challenge is turning that capability into something that works reliably in the real world and delivers measurable value to customers.

“Robin understands that success in industrial robotics is not simply about demonstrating impressive technology. It is about understanding the customer’s operation, identifying where automation can create meaningful value, and working alongside manufacturers to move from an initial application to a reliable production system. His experience introducing emerging robotic technologies into new markets will be invaluable as we expand across North America.”

Vikrant Tomar, Co-founder and CEO, Autonomique

As Head of North American Sales, Robin will work closely with Autonomique’s commercial and engineering teams to engage manufacturers facing automation challenges that conventional systems cannot easily solve. His focus will be on building long-term customer relationships, identifying high-value applications for adaptable automation, and helping customers move from early evaluation to successful deployment.

“The hardest part of working with emerging technologies is often not showing what they can do. It is turning that capability into something that works reliably in the real world and creates meaningful value for customers. That is what attracted me to Autonomique. I’m excited to work with the team and with manufacturers tackling automation challenges where greater adaptability can make a real difference.”

Robin Zheng, Head of North American Sales, Autonomique

Robin joins us at an important point in our journey. We have an ambitious goal: to create truly intelligent robots that can think and adapt, learn to handle new situations, and complete increasingly complex industrial workflows with the reliability that manufacturing demands.

Achieving that vision will require strong technology, close collaboration with customers, and a disciplined path from initial applications to deployments at scale. Robin will help us bridge those worlds by bringing the customer’s perspective into what we build and bringing Autonomique’s technology into the environments where it can make the greatest difference.

We are excited to have him on the team. There is much more ahead, and we look forward to sharing our progress and more exciting news soon.

Welcome to Autonomique, Robin.
