Hello, we are Source Robotics!
We are making robots for everyone!
Founded in February 2024 by Petar Crnjak, Source Robotics is a Croatia-based company dedicated to advancing the future of robotics. Our mission is to create accessible, high-quality robotic solutions that empower individuals, researchers, and businesses to innovate and succeed.
Our journey began with a vision to make robotics more approachable and impactful. Frustrated by the high cost and unavailability of existing solutions, we set out to design open-source, customizable tools that bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world applications.

200+ PAROL6 robots built around the world at this time.
Company opened
Source Robotics was officially founded in February 2024, marking the beginning of its journey to advance open-source robotics.
PAROL6 robot arm launch
PAROL6 was officially launched and quickly gained traction on social media platforms and blogs worldwide. Its innovative design, open-source philosophy, and high performance resonated with robotics enthusiasts, researchers, and developers alike. The robot has been adopted by leading institutions such as MIT, Stanford, and ETH Zurich for research and education.
PAROL6 starts getting developed
Building on lessons learned from previous versions, PAROL6 was designed to address and improve upon their shortcomings. Its goal is to become the de facto standard in open-source, high-performance robotics.
CM6 robotic arm
Petar developed CM6 as part of his master's thesis. The robot served as an experimental platform for concepts such as FOC control, QDD drivers, RT kernels, and real-time loops. In 2021, CM6 was a finalist in the Hackaday Prize, one of the world's largest open hardware competitions.
Faze Robotic arm
Petar Crnjak developed Faze4 as part of his bachelor's thesis. This robot became the initial spark that led to the founding of the company.
