San Francisco robotics startup founded 2025, part of Y Combinator's S25 batch; builds Nemo3, an AI-driven bimanual robot for warehouse and lab tasks.
Verne Robotics is a robotics startup headquartered in San Francisco, California, founded in 2025 by chief executive Neil Nie and chief product officer Aditya Jha. The company was part of Y Combinator's Summer 2025 cohort and operates with a team of about seven people.
The company builds Nemo3, a bimanual robot paired with AI models that learn new manipulation tasks from roughly 30 minutes of teleoperation data, using diffusion models to turn that data into repeatable skills. The hardware is offered with a 700 mm or 1,000 mm arm reach on a battery-powered wheeled base with multiple cameras for vision, and can be reconfigured on site for a different task instead of being sent back to a facility. Verne Robotics targets back-of-house physical work such as order fulfillment, high-mix bin picking, contract packaging, and return sorting, with stated use cases in biotech lab operations, consumer packaged goods, meal-kit fulfillment, and apparel logistics.
The company sells access to its robots on a pay-by-the-hour basis rather than through equipment purchase, with deployments reported in as few as four days. A published case study describes a biotechnology customer, ABClonal, saving five to ten hours per week on order fulfillment after adopting the system.
