Joy Barua Lablu

Founder & CEO, Robolife Technologies

Joy Barua Lablu is an inspiring young innovator and engineer from Bangladesh dedicated to creating real change in people’s lives through technology. From an early age, he developed a passion for robotics by building CCTV systems and robots from discarded electronic parts. His journey took a defining turn when he created a basic robotic hand for a person who lost a hand in an accident — a project that evolved into a robust bionic arm.

At just 16 years old, Joy founded Robolife Technologies, leading a committed team focused on designing and producing affordable bionic hands that have restored independence to hundreds of individuals.

Education & Technology

Joy completed a Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and graduated in Aeronautical Engineering from United College of Aviation. He oversees hardware development while collaborating closely with his team on software, design, and manufacturing to bring cutting-edge solutions to life.

Robolife Technologies’ Achievements

Robolife Technologies fulfills 2-3 orders per month and exports its innovative robotic hands to countries including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, India, and Malaysia. The company offers cost-effective bionic prosthetics that provide significant savings compared to imported models.

Participation in International Trade Fair

Robolife Technologies was invited to and proudly participated in the Madtec Trade Fair in Japan, showcasing their cutting-edge bionic hand technology on a global stage and expanding international collaboration opportunities.

Technical Highlights
