The Uzbek company Defex Robotics has become the third startup from Uzbekistan to receive an invitation to the American accelerator Y Combinator. The project was founded by Khusan Mavlonov, with its main focus being the development of robotic systems for automating manufacturing operations. Previously, two other companies from the country went through the international program — Speko (S26 batch) and Twolabs (P26).
Defex Robotics builds industrial robots capable of performing specific operations on assembly lines and inspecting the quality of finished products. In particular, the developed system can install electrical connectors, verify the reliability of their connection, and automatically save test results. This approach allows automating not only component installation, but also subsequent product inspection.
Selection for Y Combinator will give the team the opportunity to develop their technology as part of an international acceleration program focused on supporting promising startups. For Defex Robotics, it is also an opportunity to scale development and enter new markets.
