About The Company:

C2 Robotics is a national leader in the development of solutions for robotics and autonomous systems, with a key focus on innovation, rapid concept development and iterative prototype fielding.

The company head office is based in the Northern Melbourne suburb of Tullamarine, with easy access from Tullamarine, Calder and M80 ring road, as well as cycle paths. Our modern facility includes design offices as well as a large manufacturing space for hardware and prototype development and assembly.
