About Us

Trener Robotics (formerly T-ROBOTICS) is a Physical AI company building the intelligence layer for industrial robots. Headquartered in San Jose, California and Trondheim, Norway, we are transforming robots from rigid, scripted machines into intelligent, self-learning teammates that can operate reliably in real production environments. We replace traditional “point-to-point” programming with training rather than hard-coding, enabling robots to execute complex behaviors with greater flexibility and autonomy.
