🤖 40 Ways to Harness Climate Robotics

PLUS: Meet the 13 next speakers to join the HackSummit lineup

Drones scaling wind turbines. Robots restoring coral reefs. Robotics is rewriting the future of Climate Deep Tech with scalable, efficient solutions to some of the planet’s toughest challenges.

And while these robots aren’t here to take over; they are here to clean up, repair, and rebuild.

With breakthrough founders leveraging robotics capabilities across food production, biodiversity restoration, renewable energy maintenance, carbon capture and the circular economy.

Often overshadowed by its counterpart, AI who is attracting a wave of headlines (and funding), isn’t it time robotics took center stage?

Here at Hack, we think so.

This week, we take a look at how 40 startups and scaleups are harnessing bots to decarbonise, circularise and regenerate our planet. And introduce the robotics founder servicing the green transition who is joining us at the HackSummit (as well as 12 more new faces).

In this Edition:

🦾 40 Climate Robotics Startups

Spanning marine conservation, renewable energy maintenance, waste management, food production and carbon sequestration, robotics play a pivotal role in Climate Tech.

And so we take a closer look at 40 unique approaches at the intersection of Robotics and ClimateTech to uncover how the technologies are automating critical processes and optimising resource use through scalable solutions.

+ To dive deeper into the topic, check out this handy map of 230+ startups in the space via The Climate Robotics Network.

🌬️ Robotics for Wind Turbines

Revolutionising the wind energy sector, Dainis Kruze is the CEO and Co-Founder of Aerones, a company that leverages advanced robotics and AI-driven solutions for efficient wind turbine maintenance.

Aerones' cutting-edge technology enables faster, safer, and more precise inspections and repairs, helping wind farms maximise energy output while minimising downtime.

Joining us next month at the HackSummit, Dainis sits down with Eleanor Blagbrough of Blume Equity for an intimate Fireside Chat on how Aerones is shaping the future of clean energy to service the green transition.

This Y Combinator-backed startup recently raised $30 million to scale its robot-enabled services from investors including Blume Equity, Change Ventures, Mantas Mikuckas, Metaplanet, Pace Ventures and Future Positive Capital and successfully completed technology tests to trial their wind turbine maintenance, even in challenging offshore conditions.
