// botshift robotics

Software that puts robots to work.

botshift is a robotics software team for the people who build robots and the people who run them: custom development, business integrations, and fleet operations on any hardware.

// technology partnerships

botshift robots run on the Auki network: an external sense of space under every body we deploy.

The humanoids we deploy ship on Booster bodies: developer-first hardware running botshift software.

About the partnership →

// the problem

Robots ship as hardware. Jobs are software.

The SDK is not a solution

Manufacturers ship incredible hardware, an SDK, and a demo app. Everything between that SDK and a robot doing a real job is left as an exercise for the buyer.

Integration is the real project

The robot has to hear the POS, the bookings, the WMS, the tickets. That plumbing is where deployments stall, and it is nobody’s core product.

Fleets need operations

Telemetry, overnight updates, remote recovery, utilization reporting. Without ops software, a stuck robot three time zones away is a plane ticket.

The gap between the demo and the deployment is software. That gap is our whole business.

// services

Robotics software, end to end.

From the first line of task logic to a fleet running in production: we build, integrate, deploy, and operate the software side of your robots.

Robot Application Development

›Task logic & autonomy on your platform
›ROS 2 & vendor SDK adapters
›On-robot conversation & UX
›Prototype to production

Business Systems Integration

›POS, bookings, CRM, WMS & WhatsApp
›Tasks driven by real demand
›Robots that know why they move
›Every action logged & auditable

Fleet Operations

›Live telemetry & dashboards
›Updates shipped overnight, fleet-wide
›Remote recovery, no truck rolls
›Utilization & ROI analytics

Deployment & Support

›On-site bringup & site mapping
›Pilots designed to convert to rollouts
›Staff training & handover
›24/7 fleet ops

// who it is for

Built for the people who build robots. And the people who bought them.

// for robotics companies

Your hardware, finished with software

You build the body. We build what your customers actually renew for: the applications, the integrations, the fleet tooling.

›Application development on your SDK
›White-label software under your brand
›Cut deployment from months to days
›Stop rebuilding the same stack per customer

// for fleet operators

Make the robots you bought earn their keep

You already own the hardware. We connect it to the business it was supposed to serve and keep it working.

›Works with the robots you already own
›Connected to the systems you already run
›Tasks from real demand, not demo loops
›One dashboard for the whole fleet

Nobody returns a robot that pays for itself
