HARDWARE-AGNOSTIC SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR

AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC INSPECTION

Energy Robotics provides an end-to-end solution for autonomous inspections in capital-intensive industries such as oil & gas, chemical, power and utilities. Our hardware-agnostic software platform enables asset owners to easily manage a fleet of robots and drones for autonomous inspection.

simple. COST-EFFECTIVE. GAME-CHANGING.

DIGITALIZE INSPECTION

We equip robots to autonomously collect high quality data and use AI driven analytics to convert it into actionable information. With over 50 robots deployed across 4 continents, our team of robotics wizards is already transforming industrial operations.

Our Roots

The concept behind Energy Robotics started at TU Darmstadt with “Team Hector”. There, we won numerous awards for our pioneering work in the field of autonomous inspection robots. In 2017, our team decisively won the international ARGOS Challenge organized by the Oil and Gas company, Total. This was the first-ever recognized prototype of an autonomous ground robot capable of carrying out complex remote inspections and monitoring missions aboard oil and gas platforms. We were showered with glowing words of praise from all quarters for showcasing the potential of Germany in being the centre of AI and Robotics. Here's our ex-chancellor beaming with pride:

"Here we really have a jewel in questions of artificial intelligence with all its subareas. We know that the international competition here is very tough, but Darmstadt shows that Germany can be in the vanguard. That is very good news and I am pleased."
Ex-Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel at TU Darmstadt (October 8th, 2018)


Our success at the ARGOS Challenge sparked the idea of creating a business out of our software. It laid the foundations for the successful application of robot software for industrial inspections. That’s when we decided on our mission of using autonomous robots to increase operational efficiency and keeping people out of harm’s way. By pursuing our mission, we envision to be leaders in autonomous robotics.

Since 2019, the first commercial robots exclusively brain-powered by Energy Robotics are serving our customers. Through every step of our team’s development, we’ve continuously strived for excellence. In 2021, our efforts paid off as major investors in the European industry recognized us for our work. With a funding of over 2 million Euros from investors, we are a visionary company working with industry giants like Shell and Merck. Our team has grown exponentially in recent times and now consists of over two dozen passionate employees working on different aspects of our robot software. We proudly serve a range of customers and strive to provide a continuously safer and more efficient solution for industrial inspections.
