Make robots useful
and accessible to people.
That's the mission. Gatlin Robotics started with commercial cleaning because it's the highest-volume, highest-cost, most predictable physical labor in the built environment. We're starting here, and we're not planning to stop.
We are manipulation-first. Our robots have hands. They do the dexterous work: trash pickup, room reset, opening doors, separating personal items.
The Company
Built by people who've shipped robots before.
The name Gatlin is a surname that means "Companion," a word that defines how we think about robotics. Zach and Isaac first built together in 2014, collaborating on a terrain-mapping, teleoperable autonomous robot, before their paths crossed again at Miso Robotics.
Gatlin Robotics was founded in October 2025 by Isaac Qureshi and Zach Vinegar, both Cornell CS alumni with hands-on experience deploying multi-robot systems in production commercial environments at Miso Robotics.
We're pre-revenue and closing our founding customers. We'd like to hear from you.

Values
How we work.
Practical Innovation
We build things that work in the real world, not lab demos. Every product decision is tested against real deployment conditions.
Customer-Centric
Every technical and business decision starts with customer outcomes. If it doesn't make the customer's operation better, it doesn't ship.
Reliability Above All
Robots earn trust through consistent, dependable operation. Our systems are designed for uptime, not for demos.
Lean Development
We prototype fast, validate with real customers, and scale systematically. No premature optimization, no over-engineered solutions.
Let's work together.
