Reach & rotate
The rotating base changes the direction of the arm around a fixed mounting point.
Portable. Battery powered. CorkBot.
Meet CorkBot. A portable drawing robot.
In its current pen configuration, CorkBot works as a portable pen plotter. Take it in its case, use battery or plug-in power, and let the phone app’s AI prepare a plot for you to review and accept.

The robot
Start with a pen.
Take it from there.
A pen plotter guides a physical pen along prepared drawing paths. CorkBot brings that process to your workspace in a compact robot with a folding arm, carry handle and transport case.
Start with the pen tool and a drawing. The integrated battery gives you a portable setup, with plug-in power when you want it. More tools and bases are in development around the same core.
A small footprint.
A useful working area.
Designed for the workbench, with an aluminum structure, integrated battery, and a shared mounting interface for tools.

Grip & position
The three-axis gripper changes the orientation of a part as the arm moves.

A mobile-base concept explores forward travel and turning between tasks.
Built to travel
A desktop robot you can take with you.
Use the current pen configuration on a stable work surface, then fold the arm between projects. Bring CorkBot to your next workspace and choose integrated battery or plug-in power.
Fold it. Bring it.
The folding arm and carry handle keep the core compact between projects. Pack CorkBot in its case when it’s time to move.
Bring a saved drawing, a place to make, and your phone. The app helps prepare the job; you review and accept the plot before it begins.

The core robot, planned tools, and base configurations.
The rotating base, gripper, and mobile base are planned modules. Further development depends on funding; concept renders and simulated films show the roadmap. Final features and availability may change.
Phone app + AI
Ask. Review.
Make.
One request starts the preparation. You approve the plot before CorkBot gets to work.
Ask for the job.
“Use my saved logo on these six boxes.”
Let the AI prepare it.
The phone app retrieves your artwork, scans and meshes the surfaces, then places the drawing.
Review and accept.
Check the prepared plot in the app and accept it. Then CorkBot begins.
