ClankWorks takes emerging technologies out of papers and demos and turns them into hardware people can actually buy, understand, and build with.
Small by design. Open where we can be. Built to ship.
Founded by Daniel Ritchie
Hardware, materials, kits, and complete systems, ready to ship or configure.
Code, hardware files, models, and references. Much of the work is public.
Workshops, installations, custom builds, and consulting.
25 years building complex systems, now focused on the physical side of emerging technology.
Robotics, edge compute, and sensing hardware for people ready to build. See everything →
Workshops, installations, custom builds, and consulting are how our hardware reaches real users, and how what we learn there makes it back into what we build.
Decades of systems and hardware experience, with a network that covers the gaps.
