Crobotic Solutions

Crobotic Solutions d.o.o. is a Croatian robotics software startup founded on June 4, 2024, and registered at Avenija Dubrovnik 15, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia. The company was founded by Filip Zorić (CEO), Marko Križmančić (CTO), and Dr. Ana Milas (COO), all researchers from the Laboratory for Robotics and Intelligent Control Systems (LARICS) at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), University of Zagreb, with over 20 peer-reviewed scientific publications between them.

Crobotic Solutions develops AI-powered software that simplifies the programming and deployment of collaborative robot arms (cobots) for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises. The founders identified that SMEs — which constitute more than half of all manufacturing enterprises in the EU — are unable to adopt industrial robots due to high programming complexity and long deployment timelines typically requiring specialized robotics engineers.

The company's flagship product is Crobotic Forge, a SaaS platform that enables factory operators to program robot arms through learning-by-demonstration (hand-holding the robot through the desired motion) rather than traditional code-based programming. The platform integrates computer vision, deep learning, and large language models through a web interface. It also includes a universal robot API compatible with multiple robot brands. Crobotic Forge reduces cobot deployment time from approximately 12 weeks to 6 days.

The company also offers AI-powered vision modules for defect detection and object interaction in unstructured production environments. Crobotic Solutions participated in the Zagreb Innovation Centre (ZICER) Tech Transfer accelerator, where it placed 3rd, and was featured in the Croatian government's 2025 Robotics Sector investment report. Filip Zorić's PhD research focuses on semi-autonomous aerial manipulation; Marko Križmančić's research addresses multi-agent communication topology optimization; Dr. Ana Milas holds a doctorate on autonomous 3D space exploration with unmanned aerial vehicles.
