Pendulum Robotics
Quick-turn, purpose-built motors & actuators for all
About
We design and manufacture high-mix drone motors and robotic actuators in LA. DJI, Apple, and Ford don't settle for OTS components. Likewise, the teams that win the Western robotics market will build seamless machines from tightly integrated software and hardware. Pendulum Robotics designs motors and actuators around your robot's unique form factor and mission - then we rapidly bring them to life with proprietary software and tooling geared for high-mix machining and assembly. Our first factory in LA can create thousands of motors per month up to 200mm OD. We're doing for motion components what 3D printing has done for structural components. Hardware teams that can build and iterate at the speed of software will create elegant, reliable, ROI-positive robots and win massive markets.
Public Company Profile
Pendulum Robotics designs and manufactures custom motors and actuators for robotics and drone teams that need components built around a specific form factor and mission rather than off-the-shelf parts. Working from its Los Angeles factory, the company handles high-mix production using proprietary software and tooling, replacing the slow, generalist supply chains that hardware teams typically depend on for motion components. The target customer is a robotics or drone developer that would otherwise adapt their design to whatever standard motors the market offers.
Hardware and drone teams come to Pendulum with a specific robot design, and Pendulum works with them directly to engineer and produce the matching motors and actuators, substituting for both the off-the-shelf component market and traditional contract manufacturers.
