Calgary robotics startup Attabotics is restarting operations under U.S.-based LaFayette Systems following last year’s bankruptcy. Founded in 2015, Attabotics developed automated warehouse systems inspired by ant colonies, using dense vertical storage and autonomous robots to simplify fulfillment operations. Despite raising nearly $200 million, the company filed for bankruptcy in 2025 after widespread layoffs.
LaFayette acquired Attabotics in September 2025, and today’s announcement marks the formal relaunch under new leadership. The Calgary facility will remain active, housing engineering, manufacturing, and business functions, with several legacy leaders and engineers staying on staff as the company focuses on reliability, customer needs, and scaled deployment.
