Redwood Robotics[1] was a joint venture, announced in July 2012, between Meka Robotics, Willow Garage, and SRI International, all of which have strong presences in the field of robotics.[2][3][4] Redwood specializes in robotic arms "that are simple to program, inexpensive, and safe to operate alongside people",[2] a field currently occupied by Rethink Robotics (formerly Heartland Robotics).[3][5][6] Redwood Robotics claimed its arm to be "the next generation arm."[7]

In 2013 Redwood Robotics was acquired by Google X.[8][9]
