Pristine Robotics

What Pristine Robotics does

Pristine Robotics is a French engineering consultancy specializing in mobile robotics, headquartered in Rennes and operating as a SAS with €15,000 of share capital. The firm provides technical advisory, design, and integration services for mobile robotics projects spanning AGV (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) technologies. Its clients are industrial companies ranging from startups to large principals that lack internal robotics expertise, alongside product companies seeking to embed robotics into their own offerings. The firm advertises coverage across logistics, production, e-commerce, medical, airport, port, marine and underwater, public works, and service robotics applications.

The service portfolio is organized into three core offerings: Assessment and Consultancy (technical and economic feasibility studies and supplier audits), Strategic Support (operational project management, team structuring, and recruitment), and Robotics Engineering (mechanical, electrical, and software architecture through to demonstrator development and industrialization). Delivery is structured into Pre-project, Robotics Design, and Industrialisation phases aligned to TRL 7-9 deployment targets, with capabilities including fleet management of up to several dozen units and supply chain rationalization. The firm operates a partner-augmented delivery model, drawing on five formal alliances: Inter'Nov (strategic consulting), LINATSEA (embedded Linux), CALIPSA (mechanical design), LM Automation (electrical/automation), and RTHETA (mechanical prototyping).

Pristine Robotics employs a sales-led, project-based business model with custom quote-based pricing and no disclosed rate cards or productized tiers. Its go-to-market relies on direct expert engagement with enterprise buyers, supported by a bilingual French/English website and a LinkedIn presence. The five-person team comprises senior engineers with 15-20 years of experience in logistics and mobile robotics, including PhD-level expertise in perception, actuation, software, embedded systems, and mechanical architecture. No external institutional funding has been disclosed; the firm operates under a founder-led ownership structure, and no customer logos, revenue figures, patents, or external validation signals are available in the source data.

Core offering

Pristine Robotics is a mobile robotics engineering consultancy that advises, accompanies, and implements mobile robotics projects from initial concept through industrial deployment. It sells three core service lines—Assessment and Consultancy (technical and economic feasibility studies, supplier audits, master plans), Strategic Support (tailor-made advisory, team structuring, recruitment, training, and operational project management), and Robotics Engineering (design and integration of mechanical, electrical, and software architecture, demonstrator development, fleet piloting, and industrialization preparation). Its work spans both AGV (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) technologies.

Product overview

Pristine Robotics is a mobile robotics engineering consultancy that provides an integrated service offering structured around three core phases: Assessment and Consultancy (feasibility studies and supplier audits), Strategic Support (operational management and team building), and Robotics Engineering (design and integration). Their service delivery is organized into sequential phases: Pre-project (preliminary analysis), Robotics Design (architecture and demonstrator development), and Industrialisation (TRL 7-9 deployment). The company specializes in mobile robotics across multiple sectors including industrial, service, medical, agricultural, construction, underwater, logistics, and outdoor applications.
