About us
smAIT Inc. is a Silicon Valley–based robotics company advancing America’s reindustrialization and elevating humanity through intelligent automation. Founded in 2024 by Fan Tan Smith, we build service, social, and educational robots for real human environments—where safety, trust, interaction, and reliability matter as much as intelligence.
By uniting original engineering, on-shore manufacturing, and real-world deployment, we iterate faster, deliver higher reliability, and maintain durable platform control—helping customers meet labor shortages, rising costs, and growing service demands while strengthening society through human-centered robotics.
Through Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS), smAIT provides robotic labor that integrates into enterprise systems, scales across fleets, and continuously improves through software. Our robots are software-defined workforce units—API-addressable, securely connected through a Real-World API, and orchestrated by our proprietary Fleet Manager with remote monitoring, OTA updates, and performance analytics.
With strategic partners including NVIDIA and Google Cloud, smAIT is delivering the future of intelligent, reliable robotics for real-world impact.
