Automated Architecture, or AUAR (pronounced "our"), deploys robotic Micro-Factories that manufacture housing at scale on-site. Its hardware and MasterBuilder Physical AI software form a single platform that turns designs into production-ready output, controls robotic assembly, and enables repeatable deployment across sites and regions. AUAR was co-founded by Mollie Claypool (CEO) and Gilles Retsin (CTO) following a decade of joint research.

Notable Achievements

  • First company to deploy compact, mobile robotic Micro-Factories internationally.
  • ABB, a global robotics leader, invested and became a strategic partner.
  • Developed and deployed four generations of its robotic Micro-Factory (V0 through V3) in 3 years.

Currently Operating in 108 Regions
