About Kinatric
Building the hardware foundation for embodied AI
Kinatric develops robotic mobility platforms that allow AI, perception, autonomy, and sensing systems to move through the physical world.
Mobility for the real world
Kinatric is a U.S. robotics company focused on building adaptable robotic platforms for commercial deployment.
Our approach separates the difficult problem of reliable robotic mobility from the customer's application. Kinatric develops the robot, motion control, power architecture, charging systems, and core platform while customers integrate the compute, sensing, communications, autonomy, and software for their use case.
This architecture allows one platform to serve applications ranging from industrial inspection and autonomous security to infrastructure monitoring, AI research, and specialized commercial systems.
Our mission
Make advanced mobile robotics practical to deploy at scale.
Robotics becomes substantially more valuable when companies can move beyond laboratory prototypes and deploy reliable machines in meaningful numbers. Kinatric designs its platforms with that transition in mind.
Leadership
Built by technology operators
A team spanning robotics engineering, company building, commercial operations, and communications.
Eric Swildens
CEO
Eric is a technology entrepreneur with experience building and scaling infrastructure and software companies. He co-founded Speedera Networks and later Nimbella and brings experience in strategy, company building, and commercializing engineering platforms.
Link Zang
General Manager
Link works across engineering, product development, and manufacturing to help turn Kinatric’s robotics concepts into reliable, production-ready systems. He helps coordinate technical execution and supports the team as products move from design and prototyping into manufacturing and deployment.
Samara Swenson
Communications
Samara leads communications for Kinatric. Her background includes marketing and communications work at Alibaba.com focused on B2B commerce, sourcing, and connecting businesses across international markets.
How we build
Hardware designed around the deployment
Engineering choices grounded in how robots will be configured, maintained, charged, and scaled.
Platform First
Build reusable robotic hardware rather than isolated one-off machines.
Deployment Focused
Design around uptime, charging, serviceability, and real operational requirements.
Customer Configurable
Let companies integrate the sensors, compute, networking, and software their application needs.
Scalable
Engineer toward fleets and repeatable production rather than prototypes that cannot economically scale.
U.S. company
Designed for the U.S. robotics ecosystem
Kinatric is incorporated in the United States, and the D2 product family is designed and assembled in the United States. We work with customers, technology partners, and integrators building real-world robotic applications.
