ABOUT INTUITIVE ROBOTS
WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE DO

Founded in 2024 in Nantes by Franck Calzada, Intuitive Robots is driven by a clear mission: bringing robots to life through the development of intelligent, useful, and human-centered software applications.
Our journey began with a strong focus on social humanoid robots, where we built deep expertise in human-robot interaction, behavior design, and intuitive interfaces. This foundation shaped our unique approach and understanding of how robots can seamlessly integrate into human environments.
Over time, we strategically shifted our focus toward the industrial sector, applying our knowledge to real-world use cases where robotics can deliver concrete value. Our team of passionate engineers now designs and delivers tailor-made software solutions that enhance robot capabilities and ensure they perform effectively in complex, operational environments.
Since 2020, we have maintained a strategic partnership with Boston Dynamics, becoming a key player in the distribution and integration of the Spot robot across Europe. This collaboration reflects our commitment to bridging cutting-edge robotics with practical, high-impact applications.
At Intuitive Robots, we believe robotics is not just about futuristic innovation—it’s about building smart, adaptive, and reliable tools that empower people and transform industries.
