Our mission is simple
Build the muscle, so together we build the future.
What transistors did for electronics, spiketons are doing for motion.
In a world where machines are becoming smarter, smaller, and more embedded in our lives, one thing remains shockingly outdated: the way they move.
At Spike Dynamics, we set out to change that, not with incremental tweaks, but with a radical rethinking of motion itself.
We engineered a new category of actuator - ultra-compact, non-magnetic, oil-free,
muscle-like machines that can operate in a vacuum, survive radiation, and fit inside a micro robot or a satellite.
Reimagining Motion
Our actuators are not just smaller motors.
They’re dry muscles for machines, and they unlock movement in places motors never could.
We built this technology because we saw a future where:
-
Medical robots operate inside the body, not just next to it
-
Spacecraft repair themselves in orbit, not on Earth
-
Autonomous tools become safer, quieter, and more efficient
But the real breakthrough isn’t just the hardware.
It’s the idea that this kind of power belongs to everyone.
So we open-sourced it.
Because we believe that hardware innovation should be shareable, not siloed.
Because we believe that the next leap in robotics won’t come from one lab, it’ll come from thousands of minds, working together.
Why Open Source?
This technology took years of sleepless nights, dozens of prototypes, and hard-won patents.
We’re giving it away, not because it was easy, but because it matters.
We believe that motion should be buildable.
By anyone. Anywhere.
By sharing our actuators openly, we:
-
Accelerate progress across medicine, aerospace, and automation
-
Remove cost and access barriers for researchers and indie builders
-
Invite the world to improve, adapt, and apply what we started
-
Create a movement, not a monopoly
This isn’t just about us. It’s about what humanity can build together.
