History of Honeybee Robotics
A Bit of History
Operating from Manhattan since 1983 ...
Honeybee was founded in 1983 as a systems integrator using off-the-shelf robots; we quickly gained a reputation for our innovative design skills and creative problem solving.
Honeybee received its first NASA contract in 1986 and has subsequently worked on more than 90 others in addition to completing projects for the Department of Defense and companies such as Coca Cola, Con Edison, 3M, Nike, and IBM.
Honeybee Chairman, Stephen Gorevan, was named Co-Investigator for the Athena Science Payload on NASA’s 2003 Mars Exploration Rover Mission. He was stationed for several months at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, along with five other Honeybee engineers, to operate the Rock Abrasion Tool for the initial months of the mission. We currently operate the RAT remotely from our NYC offices.
Honeybee is a privately held company that is headquartered in New York City. We create robots, flight subsystems, automated drills and other machines destined for work on Earth, Mars, and beyond. Honeybee is a NASA-approved provider of space flight hardware.
