Our history

At Xmobots, we breathe innovation. Since 2007, we have been committed to making robotics accessible and integrating it into the daily lives of our generation and future generations.
Guided by our values, we have achieved a prominent position: we are leaders in the development of RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircrafts) in Latin America. These milestones are the result of continuous work, based on excellence and innovation.

Our headquarters are strategically located in São Carlos (SP), one of Brazil's main aeronautical hubs. This is where we design and manufacture 100% of the technologies that make up our portfolio, reinforcing our commitment to quality and national technological development.

Every day, we study and develop state-of-the-art solutions to fulfill our mission: "to develop the mobile robot market with cutting-edge technology". To achieve this goal, we know that it is essential to offer structural robustness, reliability, solutions for our customers' needs and to adopt an inclusive stance in everything we do.

Our vision, "to make mobile robotics an everyday reality for our children and grandchildren," guides every aspect of our work. From our internal management to our relationships with partners and consumers, right through to the creative process of our products, we always seek to align technology with the human experience.

In this way, we continue to push the limits of human potential, with the goal of making robotics accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world.

Xmobots is a privately held corporation composed of leading shareholders in the technology and financial markets who support our technological and market expansion. We operate with solid governance, transparency, and market alignment, ensuring responsible management, a focus on results, and a long-term commitment to our investors, employees, and customers. This model sustains our growth and reinforces the company's credibility in the sector and the financial community.
