RIC Robotics to launch ‘world’s first AI-powered giant construction robot’

by

RIC Robotics, a specialist developer of mobile 3D construction robotics, says it plans to launch Zyrex, the world’s first “Giantroid” – its own word for a 20-foot-tall, AI-powered, general-purpose construction robot.

RIC says the robot is designed to be cognitive and ultimately fully autonomous, capable of executing complex and delicate tasks across commercial and industrial job sites.

A working prototype is expected in early 2026, marking a significant leap forward in the evolution of robotic construction. [Read more…] about RIC Robotics to launch ‘world’s first AI-powered giant construction robot’

Cosmic Robotics secures $4 million to speed up solar infrastructure installations

by

Cosmic Robotics has raised $4 million to build AI-powered robots to accelerate the buildout of critical infrastructure, starting with utility-scale solar.

The round was led by Giant Ventures, with participation from MaC Venture Capital, HCVC, and prominent angel investors including Azeem Azhar, Aarthi Ramamurthy, and Nate Williams.

Cosmic Robotics tackles the hardest, slowest parts of building critical infrastructure – using robotics to bridge labor gaps and accelerate the buildout of US energy infrastructure, starting with solar.

Rosendin to showcase robotic solar installation system at Texas job site

by

Rosendin, which claims to be the largest employee-owned electrical contractor in the US, is preparing to publicly demonstrate a new robotic system designed to accelerate the construction of solar energy projects. (See video below.)

The showcase, scheduled for April 17 at a utility-scale solar site in West Texas, will feature a three-part autonomous robotic system developed to install photovoltaic (PV) panels more quickly and safely than traditional manual methods.

The robotics platform is the result of a multi-year collaboration between Rosendin’s Renewable Energy Group and ULC Technologies, a company known for its robotic innovations in the energy sector. [Read more…] about Rosendin to showcase robotic solar installation system at Texas job site
