Rapid Robotics

Rapid Robotics was a San Francisco robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) company, founded in 2019 by Jordan Kretchmer, that rented pre-trained six-axis "Rapid Machine Operators" to small and mid-size manufacturers on a subscription — roughly $25,000 per robot per year — to cover repetitive machine-tending work such as pad printing, injection molding, heat staking, heat stamping, ultrasonic welding, pick-and-place and parts inspection. The robots shipped with grippers, computer-vision software and models pre-trained on CAD, and were set up and supervised through a proprietary no-code fleet console rather than through a developer interface. The company raised about $54.2M in total — a $12M Series A in 2021 and a $36.7M Series B co-led by Kleiner Perkins and Tiger Global — and announced partnerships with Universal Robots and Yaskawa Motoman in early 2023. Rapid Robotics subsequently wound down, and its assets — hardware, marquee customers and the US team — were acquired by Munich-based RaaS company RobCo, which used them to enter the US market and announced a new San Francisco headquarters on 9 September 2025. The company never published a public API, SDK, developer portal, or machine-readable specification of any kind: 1,773 unique archived URLs on rapidrobotics.com contain no /api, /apis, /docs, /developer, /graphql or /sdk path. The domain is no longer operated by the company — it is delegated to ns1/ns2.atom.com and redirects to a brand-name marketplace listing. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as a historical record; there is no API surface to catalog.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score
travel_explore apis.io index code GitHub source

Rapid Robotics is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Rapid Robotics scores 4.6/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

No API surface

Why this profile is thin

Rapid Robotics wound down and its hardware, customers and US team were absorbed by RobCo; www.rapidrobotics.com now 302s to the Atom.com brand-name marketplace listing at atom.com/name/RapidRobotics and every developer path returns 404, and the 1,773 archived URLs from when the site was live contain no /api or /docs path at all.

This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Rapid Robotics does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

Rapid Robotics is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Rapid Robotics, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
