Social responsibility

We build robotics that protect people, preserve the planet and expand opportunity. Every product is guided by safety, ethical AI, environmental responsibility and transparent governance.

Robots are deployed in workplaces, hospitals, public spaces and homes. ROZOR accepts responsibility for design, use and end-of-life, with human oversight, measurable targets and community partnership.
