Our Mission
Our mission is simple: build robotic systems that thrive where others fail. We engineer manipulators that are rugged, modular, and precise — built to take on the world’s most demanding environments and tasks.
We exist to push past limitations, eliminate risk, and expand what’s possible — one arm, one mission, one challenge at a time. That’s not just our mindset. That’s our mission. That’s Built for Brutal.

Our
Story
Some jobs aren’t just tough—they’re brutal. Too toxic. Too remote. Too dangerous for humans to handle. That’s exactly where our team and our products come in.
HDT was born out of a need to go where people shouldn’t. Our roots run deep in high-stakes innovation—from building the world’s most advanced prosthetic arm for DARPA to developing modular, mission-ready manipulators used in some of the harshest environments on earth. Whether it’s inside a refinery, along a utility line or in a wide-open field, our robotic systems are designed with military-grade strength, unmatched precision, and the adaptability to solve real-world problems fast. We don’t just build tough tech—we build technology that makes the brutal possible.
And behind every product is a team of highly skilled, creative engineers who thrive on complexity. We collaborate closely with our partners, moving fast, thinking smarter, and tackling problems others won’t touch. We don’t just build tough tech, we build technology that makes the brutal possible.
