Vandri Robotics has officially opened its Croatian headquarters and development laboratory at the Poduzetnički centar Pakrac, marking an important milestone in the company's expansion across the European humanoid robotics ecosystem.

The office was inaugurated by Tadej Slapnik, CEO of Vandri Robotics Croatia, together with co-founder Dejan Iličić and Miha Golčer, CEO of Vandri Robotics Slovenia. The new facility will serve as the main development hub in Croatia, focusing on advanced research, development, and integration of humanoid robotic systems.

Alongside the opening of the headquarters, Vandri Robotics also announced the launch of its Humanoid Robots Maintenance & Service Center, providing software and hardware support for humanoid robots.

This service represents a key step toward enabling reliable and scalable deployment of humanoid robots across industries such as hospitality, tourism, public services, and enterprise environments.

The opening ceremony was highlighted by the presence of Tonka, our humanoid robot in Croatia, a Unitree G1 set up and operated by Vandri Robotics. Tonka participated in the event and attracted significant attention during a press conference organized on the occasion, demonstrating advanced AI-powered communication capabilities.

The decision to establish the headquarters in Pakrac is closely aligned with the city's strategic vision to become a leading European center for humanoid robotics education and development.

Vandri Robotics will actively contribute to this initiative by providing:

  • Advanced expertise in AI cognitive communication systems
  • Development of robotics software and hardware solutions
  • Real-world integration and deployment knowledge

Through this collaboration, the company aims to support the creation of a strong regional and European innovation ecosystem in humanoid robotics.
