Egypt-based Raedbots has launched as a domestic manufacturer of industrial robots, aiming to tap rising demand for automation in the Middle East and Africa with lower-cost, locally built systems.
Founded in 2026 by Mohamed Ibrahim and Hamza El-Sahiti, the company develops AI-powered robotic arms and automation solutions for applications such as welding, CNC machine tending, material handling and warehouse operations.
Raedbots said it designs and builds its technology بالكامل in-house at its Cairo facilities, covering hardware, electronics, control systems and artificial intelligence software, in contrast to imported or white-labelled systems commonly used in the region.
The company estimates its locally manufactured robots can cut costs by up to 50% compared with imported alternatives, potentially lowering barriers to adoption for manufacturers.
“We are providing integrated robotic solutions that help factories optimise productivity, reduce costs and enhance safety standards,” Chief Technology Officer Mohamed Ibrahim said.
Raedbots is part of NVIDIA’s Inception programme, giving it access to advanced AI and simulation tools to accelerate product development. It is also supported by Egypt’s Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (TIEC), a government-backed initiative to boost the country’s deep-tech sector.
The startup said it is working with factories and research institutions to deploy its systems as it expands its product portfolio, which will include collaborative robots and high-speed automation platforms.
Raedbots aims to build a regional robotics manufacturing base as industries across the Middle East and Africa increasingly turn to automation to improve efficiency and competitiveness.
