Nexobot takes up MassRobotics residency

ARM Hub has announced that Melbourne-based Nexobot has officially commenced a month-long residency at MassRobotics in Boston, helping to position Australian robotics innovation on the global stage and opening new pathways for the nation’s emerging technology sector.

Founder Dominic Lindsay’s participation in the prestigious program follows his victory in ARM Hub's Propel-AIR accelerator, Australia's first AI and robotics sprint designed to fast-track commercial-ready innovations toward global markets.

“This is a really great opportunity for Nexobot,” Lindsay said. “We'll have an opportunity to hear from the world's leading robotics experts, and also pass that knowledge along to Nexobot and our customers.”

“We're thrilled to welcome Nexobot to MassRobotics,” said Tom Ryden, Executive Director at MassRobotics. “Hosting an innovative Australian startup like Nexobot highlights the global reach of our ecosystem. MassRobotics is proud to serve as a landing pad for companies exploring the US robotics industry, offering access to resources, mentorship and connections that help bring transformative technologies to market.”

Lindsay’s residency includes strategic mentoring sessions with MassRobotics leadership, investor pipeline development, and exclusive access to the Amazon Robotics facility in Westboro for tours of their R&D and manufacturing operations. He’ll participate in RoboBusiness, one of the world’s leading robotics conferences, presenting Nexobot’s technology to global industry leaders.

The program also features targeted sessions on US market entry, supply chain development, and startup scaling strategies designed specifically for international companies seeking North American expansion.

Nexobot's autonomous parcel sorting system is already delivering measurable impact in regional Australia. The technology reduces worker walking distances from 40 m per parcel to just 6 m, creating productivity improvements for logistics operators previously excluded from automation due to cost barriers.

Unlike traditional systems requiring million-dollar infrastructure investments, Nexobot's platform operates through a Robotics-as-a-Service model, enabling small and medium enterprises to access advanced automation without prohibitive capital expenditure.

The residency exemplifies ARM Hub's approach to scaling Australian innovation. Through Propel-AIR, Lindsay refined investor presentations, advanced capital-raising preparations, and accelerated development of next-generation navigation systems.

“This is what Future Made in Australia looks like,” said ARM Hub CEO Professor Cori Stewart. “Smart, affordable technology that supports sovereign capability, creates regional jobs, and solves real-world problems for real businesses.”
