AI is learning to move.

Robots just crossed from the lab into the classroom.

For decades, legged and humanoid robots were one-off research machines. In the last few years that changed. Humanoids, robot dogs and dexterous hands are now products you can order, with open software, simulation models and developer kits. Each new generation is more capable and more affordable than the one before.

At the same time, AI is moving off the screen and into the physical world. The next generation of engineers will not just prompt models. They will teach machines to walk, grasp and work alongside people.

The question is no longer whether robots belong in education, but who helps schools and labs get them working.

The hardware is ready. The path to the classroom is not.

Educators who want to bring robotics in run into the same walls:

• A crowded, fast-moving market. New makers and models appear every few months, and it is hard to know what fits a curriculum or a research goal.
• High upfront cost. A capable platform is a serious budget decision, often before anyone has seen it in use.
• Little local support. Most makers sell globally. Setup, repairs and training are left to the buyer.
• Hardware without a plan. A robot on a shelf teaches nothing. Schools need help turning it into lessons and projects.

Buy it. Rent it. Build it.

Torquero is one partner for the whole journey, with three business lines that feed each other.

Renting lets customers try before they commit. Selling builds long-term relationships. Building turns what we learn from both into products of our own.

Independent, focused on education, and already moving.

• Brand-independent. We recommend what fits the customer, across makers. Our catalog already covers humanoids, robot dogs, hands and actuators from Unitree, Booster Robotics, AgiBot and RoboParty.
• Built for education. Schools, universities, makers and event organisers are our audience from day one, not an afterthought.
• Global from the start. Headquartered in Groningen, the Netherlands, and building to serve schools, universities and labs around the world.
• A path to our own products. Resale and rental are the start. Our own kits are where we build lasting value.

Early, deliberate, and building.

Torquero launched in 2026. We are putting the foundations in place: the catalog, maker relationships and our first education partners.
