The problem
Technology requires urban infrastructure
Outlying areas lack reliable connectivity, stable electricity supply, and access to parts and skilled labor to make technology work.
The solution
Localize skills and solutions
Adapt robotics for local conditions, train local partners to use them effectively, and create new jobs for local labor.

The role of design
WeRobotics designs rugged drones and payload robots that contain their own connectivity and power supply and are easy to both use and maintain.
