What Ubiquity Robotics does

Ubiquity Robotics is a private San Jose, California-based company that designs, builds, and sells the Magni family of pre-integrated mobile robot bases. Each Magni platform combines mobility, navigation, computing, and power subsystems out of the box, allowing customers to focus on their own application logic rather than foundational robotics engineering. The product line spans the Magni 6 Mini ($699) for education and surveying, the Magni 6 Midi ($6,495) with 20 kg payload for research and real-world automation, and the legacy Magni Silver ($4,995, currently out of stock), complemented by 24V/36V and 48V motor controllers, short- and long-range LIDAR sensors, the EZ Map Pro navigation software, and bundled solutions (Navigation Bundle $5,900, Navigation Pro Bundle $7,500).

The platform is built on a native ROS 2 architecture with Zenoh-based communication extending from the motor-controller level to the on-board Raspberry Pi 5 compute, enabling direct ROS 2 topic communication without additional host drivers. The company protects its designs with three granted U.S. patents and a pending application, and supports applications including SLAM navigation, fiducial-based path programming, UV disinfection, material handling, and computer-vision-enabled service tasks.

Ubiquity Robotics operates a direct-to-consumer, product-led growth model via a Shopify storefront, supplemented by quote-based custom robotics solutions services and international shipping under DAP incoterms from Hong Kong SAR. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales and software licenses, with optional subscription-based services and warranty extensions. The customer base spans education, research, hobbyists, and enterprise users across more than 20 countries, including named logos such as Google, Microsoft, Intel, PayPal, AMD, Qualcomm, Japan Post, Hong Kong Airport, and Hong Kong Government.
