Our Story

Reachbots Automation is a deep-tech spin-off from the National University of Singapore (NUS). The first generation of the robot crawlers builds upon 5 years of R&D work under the Future Yards theme of Keppel-NUS Corporate Laboratory, and the lead Principle Investigator (PI), Associate Prof Chew Chee Meng.


Our robots were also showcased to DPM Heng Swee Keat and higher management of Keppel in June 2019. Rayner, the project lead, together with Dr. Tan Yan Zhi, overall theme coordinator, decided to push the technology to market after the project ended.
