Vinlandic Systems is a Canadian robotics company building machines for the places where work actually happens — industrial floors, northern forests, care homes, city streets, and everywhere in between. We engineer platforms that earn their place by doing work that matters, wherever the frontier leads.
Our name comes from Vinland — the Norse name for the North American coast, the farthest reach of Viking exploration. Like those first explorers, we build machines that go beyond the map. From heavy-duty platforms that operate in Arctic cold and industrial hazard zones to companion humanoids that bring warmth and capability into homes and care settings, the same engineering standard runs through everything we make.
Canadian-engineered. Nordic-inspired. Built for the real world.
Four categories. One engineering standard.
Humanoid platforms purpose-built for human environments — homes, care settings, hospitality, and daily life. Warm presence, natural interaction, and real capability where people live and work.
Autonomous platforms for retail, logistics, and service environments. Inventory, delivery, inspection — machines that handle the repetitive work so people don't have to.
Mining, construction, manufacturing. Rugged machines that operate in hazardous zones — gas detection, confined spaces, extreme temperatures. Where the work is too dangerous for people.
Forestry, agriculture, Arctic operations, search and rescue. Machines built for Canadian winters, mountain terrain, and everything the North Atlantic throws at them. When the weather turns, Vinlandic keeps working.
Concept renders — our heavy-duty platform in the environments it's built for.
-40°C to +45°C operating range. Snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles.
Forestry, slopes to 25°, rocky and uneven ground.
IP66/IP67 sealed. Cold-start to -40°C. Whiteout conditions.
Tool integration, hazardous zones, confined spaces.
Concept renders. Hardware in development.
Two decades of robotics milestones — the field that Vinlandic builds on, and the trajectory we enter. Hover or tap any point to explore.
Robotics has moved from isolated demonstrations to generalist policies that learn across embodiments, scenes, and tasks. The curve is bending upward. Vinlandic enters this trajectory at the moment it matters most — when the science is ready and the hard problems are deployment, durability, and the environments the rest of the world still calls impossible.
Vinlandic designs and owns every platform we ship.
Every platform we bring to market is designed in-house and owned by Vinlandic. We don't rebrand partners' products — we build our own.
Functional materials, form factors, and behaviour systems are specified by Vinlandic. Our manufacturing partners execute to our drawings, not theirs.
Vinlandic IP is built for Canada and markets outside China. Our designs, our brand, our customers — manufactured globally, owned at home.
Federal, provincial, and municipal procurement. Defense and public-sector partnerships. RFP responses and capability briefings.
Mining, construction, manufacturing, logistics. Hazardous-zone deployments where machines replace people in dangerous work.
Hospitals, eldercare facilities, rehabilitation. Companion humanoids that bring presence and capability into care settings.
Hotels, retail, customer-facing environments. Platforms that handle interaction, delivery, and guest experience.
Universities, labs, R&D programs. Platforms for robotics research, testing, and prototyping.
Warehousing, inventory, last-mile delivery. Autonomous platforms that handle the repetitive work.

A decade of humanoid robotics — from Asia to Canada.
Our founder has been working with humanoid robots since 2013 — supporting trade shows across Asia, integrating partner hardware, and learning what actually works in the field. This is the foundation we're building on.
Sheldon Hunt began supporting humanoid robot demonstrations at major trade shows across Asia. Working with the Hans and Sophia android platforms — some of the most advanced expressive humanoid robots of the era — he helped run live demos, integrate speech and vision systems, and present the technology to international audiences.
Three years on the Asian robotics trade show circuit — Shanghai, Shenzhen, Seoul. Hands-on work with early humanoid platforms, android torsos, and expressive AI heads. Learning what breaks when you put robots in front of crowds, what works in demos, and what doesn't translate to the real world.
Working with leading global robotics manufacturers on next-generation humanoid platforms — dual-arm gantry systems, four-armed mobile humanoids, full-size bipeds, and biomimetic companion robots. Evaluating hardware for Canadian distribution, joint product development, and market integration across industrial, field, and human-facing applications.
Thirteen years of robotics experience, distilled into a company. Vinlandic Systems brings Canadian engineering discipline to the harshest environments on Earth — and beyond. The same standard that ran trade show demos across Asia now builds machines for Canadian winters, Arctic operations, and industrial hazard zones.
Sheldon Hunt is an experienced founder and technologist with over a decade of experience working with government, Canadian corporates, and innovative tech companies. His career spans foreign policy, international trade, emerging technology, and robotics — work that has taken him across Asia and North America, from early humanoid robotics to large-scale commercial partnerships. Vinlandic Systems brings that experience together: a Canadian robotics company built for the real world.
Day-to-day operations, partner coordination, and the relationships that make everything run smoothly.
