# Jan is working on a mission the future of human-robot collaboration

Jan Labs is a robotics company at its core, laying the groundwork for what we believe will evolve into cognitive robotics. We aim to connect humans and robots, creating companions that go beyond conventional expectations.

We focus on the enduring elements in a field where "new" is a constant. Our goal is to look beyond the immediate horizon and build a foundation that will remain relevant for years.

## Building for a lifetime vision

Every decision we make is guided by our vision of a future where Jan is not just a tool but a trusted ally. We draw inspiration from iconic figures in science fiction, such as R2D2, C3PO, Joi, and Jarvis - these characters represent the potential of what we aim to achieve with Jan.
