About Randolph Schilke

Founder of 3lytra

Building the Future of Personal Robotics

Randolph Schilke founded 3lytra through Schilke App Solutions LLC with a simple mission: to create personal robots that anyone can use. Not robots locked away in factories or research labs, but robots you can control from your phone, from anywhere in the world.

The vision behind 3lytra is that robotics should be accessible, practical, and fun. Whether you want to explore your home while traveling, check on things remotely, or simply experience the joy of piloting a robot in real-time, personal robotics opens up new possibilities.

The R1 Robot

The R1 is the first robot from 3lytra, designed by Randolph Schilke to be rugged, reliable, and truly remote-controllable. With its tracked drivetrain, live HD video streaming, and intuitive mobile app, R1 represents a new approach to personal robotics.

Every detail of R1 was considered—from the ability to navigate different terrains to the low-latency video that makes remote driving feel natural. It's a robot built by someone who wanted to use it themselves.

The 3lytra Vision

3lytra (pronounced "eh-LY-tra") takes its name from the protective wing covers of beetles—a symbol of engineering elegance in nature. Just as elytra protect while enabling flight, 3lytra robots are designed to be both robust and capable.

Randolph Schilke believes personal robotics is just getting started. The R1 is the first step in a journey to make robots a natural part of everyday life.
