C.K. Wolfe is Co-Founder of Tensr, a Y Combinator-backed startup building fully autonomous robotic factories to make hardware manufacturing as scalable as cloud infrastructure.
Wolfe pursued a CS PhD in AI and Robotics at UC Berkeley and served as a Technical Program Manager at UC Berkeley's robotics lab under Berkeley AI Research (BAIR), where they also served as Editor-in-Chief of the BAIR Blog.
Wolfe co-led an autonomous IndyCar team racing full-scale vehicles at 160mph, and helped secure over $17M in DARPA and industry sponsorship via AI Racing Tech in 2024.
At Tensr, Wolfe and co-founders Eric Berndt and Adith Sundram are building on-demand robotic factories that receive orders and dispatch robots to operate industrial machinery, package, and ship finished products within 24 hours.
Tensr is taking on the multi-trillion-dollar U.S. manufacturing stack by designing factories from the ground up for robotic automation, with operational experience spanning Rockwell Automation, aerospace manufacturing, and FDA-regulated medical-device production.
