Kyber Labs develops novel artificial muscle fiber actuators for ultra low cost biomimetic robots. Founded by SpaceX veteran Tyler Habowski.
Kyber Labs is a robotics hardware company developing next-generation robotic actuators based on artificial muscle fiber technology. Rather than relying on conventional electric motors and gearboxes, the company is designing lightweight, compliant actuation systems intended to deliver human-like movement at significantly lower cost. Its artificial muscle architecture targets robotic manipulation and humanoid applications where dexterity, efficiency, and affordability are critical. By aiming to reduce actuator costs from thousands of dollars to hundreds, Kyber Labs seeks to make advanced robotic hardware more accessible for large-scale commercial deployment.
