Robotbase

Autonomous is a company specializing in smart office furniture designed for remote and hybrid work environments. Founded in 2014 by Duy Huynh, the company initially started as Robotbase, a New York City-based venture focused on social and telepresence robots. The first product was a robot assistant named Maya, intended to make life easier and smarter. The company pivoted its focus, and in 2015, formally launched as Autonomous, a smart office furniture provider. This shift was driven by closely monitoring customer feedback to develop products that met market needs, rather than focusing on gimmicks.

The company's core offerings include the SmartDesk, an electric height-adjustable desk, and the ErgoChair, an ergonomic office chair. The SmartDesk series features customizable memory settings, and some models include features like wireless chargers and built-in speakers. The ErgoChair line is designed to provide proper back support and full adjustability. Autonomous has also expanded its product line to include items like the WorkPod, a private backyard office space. The business serves both individual consumers and corporate clients, with over one million customers and 130,000 offices using its products globally. The company operates on a direct-to-consumer model, managing its supply chain to offer products directly to businesses and individuals. It has established a global presence with warehouses in the US and Europe.
