Kyber Labs
NYC startup building ultra-low-cost AI-ready dexterous robot hands using novel artificial muscle fiber actuator technology.
Kyber Labs, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, develops next-generation robotic manipulation hardware using novel artificial muscle fiber actuators — flexible tubes of wire coils and magnet-filled sliders — enabling mechanically compliant, highly dexterous robot hands. The flagship product is a five-finger robot hand with approximately 20 degrees of freedom and high backdrivability, priced in the hundreds of dollars rather than thousands, designed for embodied AI training and assembly automation. Kyber Labs also offers a bimanual robotic manipulation platform with a software stack converting high-level commands into physical actions.
Founded by SpaceX and Tarform alumni, the company is backed by Endless Frontier Labs, Cortical Ventures, Earthrise Ventures, and Elliptic Ventures. Target applications include component assembly, lab automation, and manufacturing in unstructured environments.
