Artisanal Robotics & AI from the
Texas Hill Country.


At Lemonaide Labs, we’re handcrafting the future. We believe human + robot interaction shouldn’t be about disposable gadgets—it should be about machines with soul. Tools that are as delightful to use as they are useful. Every robot and AI we design starts as an experiment we actually want in our own lives. And if people want to buy those experiments? Even better—that fuels the next wild idea.

The Lemonaide Labs Origin Story

Welcome to Lemonaide Labs—where invention and play collide to create magic by design. We’re part think tank, part product accelerator, part deep-tech lab, and part design studio—blending imagination with engineering to turn wild ideas into real machines.

We take the 🍋 life throws—hard problems worth solving—and turn them into robots, products, and systems we actually want for ourselves. It’s about turning science fiction into reality—machines that make people laugh, smile, and look toward the future with genuine hope. That’s not just making lemonade. That’s making Lemonaide.

Lemonaide Labs began as rover research for the Moon—machines designed to mine, haul, and assemble infrastructure in the harshest environments imaginable, powered by advanced AI personalities to make decisions a quarter-million miles from Earth. What started as a weekend side project became deeper experimentation: testing wheels and rover designs on the beach, sparking curiosity (and plenty of smiles). Along the way we began building a new class of personality-driven AI to change how we interact and collaborate with machines.

Then a friend suggested a practical twist:

“Why not have it pack
a cooler to the beach?”


That’s how the Haulverine was born: a tough, expressive rover that hauls gear, follows you down the trail, and makes life easier (and a lot more fun). Haulverine is the first product experiment from Lemonaide Labs.

A workbench cluttered with tools and components, featuring a yellow Yeti cooler mounted on a white rover body, with tools in containers, and a television screen in the background.
  • Lunar rover in carter.

    We started by designing rovers for the Moon.

  • Lunar rover rendering

    Lunar rover experiments needed an inexpensive testing platform.

  • Rover prototype during beach testing.

    3D-printed rover testing platforms exceeded expectations.

  • A robot with a white body and large metallic wheels on sand.

    Using sand dunes and the beach for lunar terrain testing created a robust 3D-printed drivetran.
