HelixOS

The software layer that controls your lab robots.

Your robots already do the work. HelixOS orchestrates them with protocols, AI reasoning, live experiment state, and audit-grade traceability — so the lab runs as one system.

Interactive 3D — drag to rotate, scroll to zoom.

From disconnected robots to one operating system.

HelixOS brings robot fleets, ELN structure, protocol logic, AI decision support, and compliance logging into one control plane for the modern lab.

Robot fleet control

One surface for instruments, queues, and execution.

HelixOS turns separate robots into one operating system, so task routing, handoffs, and live status stay synchronized.

The result is a control plane that can run parallel work without losing the state of the lab.

Lab robot hardware in the HelixOS fleet story

Protocol intelligence

Turn methods into executable workflows.

Define approvals, sequencing, and retries once, then let HelixOS coordinate the work between humans, robots, and analysis systems.

That gives the lab a repeatable protocol layer instead of a collection of disconnected checklists.

Audit and traceability

Keep a reviewable record for every run.

Every robot action, protocol change, and result lands in a structured system of record for troubleshooting and compliance.

That makes HelixOS the software layer investors can trust and operators can actually ship on.

Why this matters now

Labs are buying robots, but they still need the software layer that turns hardware into an operating system.

Robot fleets need orchestration

One vendor per instrument does not scale when the lab wants coordinated, multi-step execution.

Protocols need state

Manual checklists break down once experiments span robots, humans, and asynchronous analysis.

Audit needs to be native

Regulated science requires a system that records every action without extra admin work.

Investor thesis

We believe the winning lab software company is the control plane for robotics, protocol execution, and scientific reasoning.

Why now

Labs are installing automation faster than they are unifying it. The missing layer is software that can run the fleet.

What we are raising for

Build the robotics control layer, ship pilot workflows, and prove that HelixOS can operate real lab fleets end-to-end.
