Architecture before brand
Recommend the right robotic form instead of forcing the task onto a preferred platform.
Independent robotics engineering
The job is not to sell a humanoid. It is to make robotic work useful.
SchmidtFactories helps industrial teams separate promising robotics opportunities from expensive demonstrations, validate the right architecture and build the systems required for production.
Our point of view
Humanoid-first. Never humanoid-at-any-cost.
Humanoid robots can become important industrial tools, especially inside brownfield environments designed for people. But not every task needs one, and not every impressive movement is ready for production.
Our role is to identify what is technically realistic, validate it rigorously and engineer the software, AI, interfaces and controls required for safe, measurable operation.
Working principles
01 / Independent
02 / Measurable
03 / Accountable
Confidence is engineered in stages.
Production before theater
Define operating evidence, failure conditions and economic outcomes before claiming success.
System before component
Assess robot, AI, software, factory interfaces, safety and operations as one system—and identify where specialist delivery partners are required.
Founder
Cedric Schmidt
Cedric Schmidt leads SchmidtFactories with a software-engineering background and a focus on integrating AI into operational and physical systems. The work combines analytical system design with hands-on implementation across robotics software, Physical AI and industrial integration.
“A robot project is valuable when operations can trust it—not when the demo looks futuristic.”
