Smart hardware. Intelligent motion.
Robotics, Mechatronics Engineering
Our Los Angeles based team designs and builds custom robotics and advanced mechatronic systems for film, live events, trade shows, activations, R&D, and production environments.
What We Build
Our Los Angeles–based engineering team specializes in mechatronics engineering, combining mechanical design, electronics, actuators, control systems, and embedded software into fully integrated robotic assemblies. We build systems that perform reliably under demanding physical, environmental, and operational conditions.
Whether you’re developing custom robotics, programmable motion systems, animatronics, precision mechanisms, or production-ready electromechanical hardware, our team creates solutions built for durability, repeatability, and seamless integration into your workflow or experience.

our approach
Where Mechatronics Engineering Meets Real-World Performance
- Purpose-built systems engineered for your motion requirements, payload, speed, torque, and constraints.
- More reliable operation through precision mechanical design and tightly integrated sensors, motors, and control logic.
- Greater safety and predictability with fail-safes, redundancy, and engineered testing protocols.
- Faster response, smoother motion, and quieter, more efficient actuation through optimized control systems.
- Better maintainability with modular components, serviceable mechanics, and documented procedures.
- More flexibility and creative freedom, from animatronics to automated props to robotic show elements.
- WE BUILD ROBOTICS THAT WORK WHERE OFF-THE-SHELF SYSTEMS CAN’T. From entertainment to R&D labs to real-world production, our mechatronic systems deliver consistent, high-precision performance.

OUR WORK
Featured Projects
A look at how our Los Angeles based team blends robotics, applied AI, LED systems, and creative engineering into real-world productions.
IBM: CALLING THE SHOTS
Our creative technologists developed custom software and hardware to calculate serve speed, distinguish between forehand vs. backhand hits, and track general ball trajectory using custom sensor fusion techniques. We also created animations that represented a participant’s “real time game play”, as well as a post-game dashboard that kept track of stats from each game that participants played. Learn more →
GOOGLE CLOUD SPACE
Google Cloud’s Executive Briefing Center was designed to enlighten visitors on Google Cloud technologies. Collaborating with Quantum XPR, we developed two captivating, interactive exhibits aimed at fostering innovative solutions across diverse industries through the Google Cloud Platform, including their healthcare and supply chain technologies.Learn more →
DREAMFORCE: PEN PLOTTER
To help announce Salesforce’s latest innovation at the 2023 Dreamforce event, we created a system with a prompt station remotely connected to three peripheral pen plotters that would help visitors map out their path through Dreamforce based on the things they wanted to learn about. Our creative technologists custom built the software package to mimic Salesforce AI, while our fabrication design team created a custom input system to allow hands-on interaction. Learn more →
