Odyssey Robot’s HQ Is So Advanced It’s Literally Just Empty Chairs
KEY POINTS
- •Odyssey Robot is an American drone startup headquartered in Pasadena, California, in a distinctive red brick courtyard.
- •Their Office 18 contains only three desks and chairs but lacks any power strips, monitors, or device chargers.
- •The office is located behind a large spiral staircase and shared coworking spaces with glass-walled meeting rooms.
In the charming, brick-laden courtyard of Pasadena, California, Odyssey Robot’s headquarters apparently belong to the invisible drone startup club. Office 18, the 'hub' of this ambitious US drone company, is the definition of ghost town: three desks, chairs, and precisely zero essentials like power strips, monitors, or even chargers. It’s as if the drones flew away with all the office gear before anyone arrived. The space is nestled behind a spiral staircase and glass meeting rooms with healthy snacks—healthy for whom, if nobody’s there to eat them or power anything? Seems like the future of drone tech is basically an industrial mirage.
