🎄 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Hartera Robotics 🎆

As we wrap up this year, we want to take a moment to reflect with gratitude, pride, and excitement on everything behind us — and everything ahead.

This year has been a huge milestone for Hartera Robotics.

🔹 To being recognized among the top innovations
🔹 To securing our first financings and support programs
🔹 To starting new business collaborations and projects
🔹 And continuously developing and testing our robotic systems in real-world conditions

Each step was built on hard work, persistence, learning from mistakes, and a shared belief that robotics can bring real value to maritime and industrial environments.

None of this would be possible without:
🤝 our partners and collaborators
💡 mentors and supporters
👨‍💻👩‍💻 the people who believe in what we are building
⚓ and the community that follows our journey

As we enter the new year, we do so full of motivation and joy, working on new products, new spaces, and new challenges — with even more ambition and responsibility than before.

Thank you for being part of our story.
We can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.

✨ Here’s to innovation, courage, and building the future — together.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Kao korisnici Riječke razvojne agencije PORIN dobili smo priliku ispričati našu priču u serijalu “Priče naših poduzetnika”.

Od prvog pitanja u prašnjavoj marini – “može li ovo raditi robot?” – do prvih prototipova, testiranja u suhim marinama, i svih uspona i padova između… sada je napokon sve složeno na jednom mjestu.
Ako vas zanima kako je nastala Hartera Robotics iz konobe, što točno radi naš robot za poliranje trupa plovila i gdje želimo biti za par godina, bacite oko na intervju 👇

Hvala cijelom Riječka razvojna agencija PORIN timu na podršci i svima koji su zadnjih godina vjerovali da se ovakve stvari mogu raditi i iz Rijeke. 🚀

[PRIČE NAŠIH PODUZETNIKA] Hartera Robotics

Ne počinje svaki startup uz komp u garaži.
Neki počinju uz prašinu u marini i jedno dobro pitanje:
𝘔𝘰𝘻̌𝘦 𝘭𝘪 𝘰𝘷𝘰 𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪 𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘵?

Ponosni kao Hartera Robotics smo što smo dio HAMAG-BICRO obitelji i što je danas naš robot Carpathia imao priliku biti predstavljen i predsjedniku Vlade RH Andrej Plenković
Posebno nam je drago što je s oduševljenjem dočekao činjenicu da se ovakav proizvod razvija upravo ovdje, u Hrvatskoj. 🇭🇷

Hvala HAMAG-BICRO na potpori, kao i timu iz Riječka razvojna agencija PORIN koji nam je pomogao dodatno unaprijediti dizajn robota. Idemo dalje još jače! 💪

Karlo Džafić
FOUNDER & CEO @ HARTERA ROBOTICS

Karlo Džafić je računalni inženjer iz Rijeke i osnivač tvrtke Hartera Robotics, s vizijom da roboti preuzmu fizički zahtjevne poslove, a ljudima ostave ono najvrijednije – vrijeme. Još kao student sastavio je i programirao humanoidnog robota InMoov, projekt koji mu je donio Nagradu Rektorice i široku medijsku pažnju.

Nakon toga radio je na razvoju autonomnih plovila, integrirajući senzore, elektroniku i softver, a 2023. pokreće vlastitu tvrtku i započinje razvoj Carpathie – robota koji automatizira poliranje plovila u suhim marinama. U Hartera Roboticsu Karlo i njegov tim stvaraju rješenja koja fizički rad pretvaraju u tehnološki proces, mijenjajući način na koji se obavljaju najzahtjevniji zadaci.

Do you remember Timmy Hartera?

Three years ago today, I introduced Timmy Hartera.

What started as my undergraduate thesis, inspired by the open-source InMoov project, turned into a three-year journey of building, learning, and pushing limits.

Timmy wasn’t just a robot – it sparked media attention, unexpected phone calls, and ultimately became the true beginning of what is now Hartera Robotics

And today, right on that anniversary, we received something special – our place in the official robotics catalog by the Ministry of Economy 🇭🇷🤖

From a prototype in the workshop to national recognition – proud, grateful, and more motivated than ever.

From a student project to national recognition. What a ride. 🚀
