Reframe Systems
"Building resilient homes with robotic microfactories"
Robotic microfactories fabricating modular net-zero homes faster and at lower cost.
Reframe Systems is a vertically integrated design-build company that uses AI-powered robotic microfactories to manufacture modular, net-zero homes. Founded in 2022 by former Amazon Robotics executives Vikas Enti, Aaron Small, and Felipe Polido, the company operates a 16,000 sq ft microfactory in Andover, Massachusetts, where robotic systems autonomously frame and assemble structural panels. Each microfactory can be operational within approximately 100 days, enabling rapid market deployment.
Reframe automates roughly 20% of the construction process and targets net-zero performance standards. The company delivered its first home in 2024 and expects to scale to 200+ units annually by 2027. In 2025, Reframe raised $20 million in Series A funding co-led by VoLo Earth Ventures and Eclipse Venture Equity to expand its microfactory network across the US.

FUTURE WARFARE | Land - Unmanned Ground Vehicles — From Logistics Mules to Front-Line Robots
Ukraine fielded 15,000 unmanned ground vehicles in 2025 — surpassing its own procurement targets by over 100 percent. A single UGV held a front-line position for 45 days. Up to 90 percent of supplies to Pokrovsk now move by robot, not truck. The U.S. Army cancelled its $3 million Robotic Combat Vehicle and is starting over. China is deploying $3,000 robot dogs in PLA urban-warfare exercises. This article maps the emerging UGV battlefield — from Ukraine’s garage-built logistics fleet to the Pentagon’s stalled combat-vehicle ambitions, and from Ghost Robotics’ Vision 60 to the quadruped proliferation problem no treaty has yet addressed.
Robot Talk Episode 150 – House building robots, with Vikas Enti
In a recent conversation, Claire spoke with Vikas Enti, co-founder and CEO of Reframe Systems, about the innovative use of robotics and automation in constructing climate-resilient, high-performance homes. This discussion highlighted how Reframe Systems, a company focused on physical AI, is transforming traditional building methods through advanced automation and localized fabrication techniques. Enti, who brings over ten years of experience from his tenure at Amazon Robotics, emphasized the importance of these technologies in addressing the challenges posed by climate change. The dialogue underscored the potential for automation to not only enhance the efficiency of home construction but also to create structures that can withstand the increasing impacts of environmental stressors.
