About Us

CrabLine Robotics was born out of Dr. Kathryn Daltorio’s mechanical engineering lab at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Daltiorio has spent her career at Case designing and building bio-inspired robotics with her students. In early 2023 she joined forces with serial entrepreneur and business lead, Carla Macklin, and PhD candidates John Grezmak and Jiyuan Jiang, to develop crab-like robotics for industrial purposes. With the support of National Science Foundation, CrabLine Robotics was formed.
