Designed by Researchers. Loved by Kids. Built for Tomorrow.
Our company originated from the Bioinspired Robotics and Design Lab at UC San Diego where we developed robots that replicate animal behavior and operate with minimal to no electronics. At Neubo, Inc., we are combining cutting‑edge soft‑robotics with immersive play to create interactive robots that ignite curiosity, unleash creativity, and empower the engineers of tomorrow.
We build soft robots! Our company designs air-powered, lifelike robotic toys that captivate and inspire kids. By bringing groundbreaking soft robotics technology from our research lab into interactive, hands-on experiences, we empower the next generation to discover, learn, and innovate.
Recognizing excellence and innovation in every step of our journey.
