RobotLAB, with 36 locations across the country and headquarters in Texas, is home to more than 50 different types of robots, from cleaning and customer service bots to security bots.
Nearly every sector could use the robots, from deploying dementia patients in nursing homes and delivering food in restaurants and hotels to handling box deliveries in warehouses and entering burning buildings to protect firefighters.
CEO Elad Inbar says cleaning robots are among the most popular and can clean hundreds of thousands of square meters per day. Hospitals, airports and supermarkets across the country are adopting them.

Inbar works with companies across the country to deliver robots tailored to the needs of each business, to teach owners how to use AI effectively and to adapt to automation. He emphasizes that nothing will replace human emotion, but AI robots can help fill the employment gaps by taking on jobs that no one else wants to do.
“We have robots that can perform endlessly, they fight fires and so on, so they are very capable and we have a labor shortage,” Inbar said. “People don’t want to do this work. And if people don’t want to do the work, we have a solution that can actually help business owners.”
Inbar believes that the next big step in AI They are humanoid robots, and they are making rapid progress. He believes that by the end of the decade, there will be humanoid robots in homes, capable of cooking, cleaning and solving maintenance needs.

“It’s something we haven’t seen in 18 years, at least since we did that [have been] running this business,” Inbar said. ‘Humanoid robots have become highly capable thanks to advances in hardware and software. Robots are actually able to understand reality, understand our environment. Understand when you… Ask your robot to clean the table, it understands what goes in the trash and what goes in the dishwasher.”
Recently, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to prevent states from overregulating AI. Inbar says this is essential to keep companies competitive in the AI race, especially against China. He emphasizes protecting people’s privacy, but warns that overregulation could stifle innovation and put the US at a disadvantage.
‘It affects everything national securityYou know, productivity, even down to the ability to sustain our lives in terms of energy consumption and everything else,” Inbar said.” So these are the things we need AI to solve for us, to work with, and to be the first to do. Because if you’re not first, you’re last.”

“We develop curriculum, we develop lesson plans, we develop activities and professional development for the teachers to help them expand their lessons with these types of technologies,” Inbar said. “We took everyday robots as robot arms and created a whole curriculum that teaches kids trigonometry, physics and math and all that.”
