100 words

NorBot is a commercial robotics integrator based in Vancouver, British Columbia, founded in June 2026. Robot hardware has advanced quickly. The layer above it has not: software that puts these machines to work inside the way Canadian businesses actually operate, with service accountability that sits in Canada rather than a ticket queue on another continent.

NorBot sources, integrates, deploys and manages robots across an operation through its proprietary fleet-management and digital twin software, and holds supplier and partnership agreements with four leading robotics manufacturers. It works across logistics, real estate, healthcare and hospitality. NorBot closed a $1M pre-seed round in September 2026. Learn more at norbot.ca.

What NorBot does

The layer between the machine and the operation

NorBot does not manufacture robots. It chooses the right hardware for a given floor, integrates it into how that business already runs, manages the fleet on its own software, and answers for it in Canada.

The robots are imported. The control layer, the operating data, the service accountability and the people are Canadian.

Data and Canadian control

Who controls your fleet?

Not where the hardware was made, but who holds the operating data, who can access it, and who is accountable when something goes wrong.

Any robot deployed directly from a foreign supplier will result in most of that data leaving your business and the country by default. We think Canadian operational data should stay under Canadian control, and we're building the fleet layer that makes that true.
