Starting up robot labor RoboForce has announced that it has raised $10 million in early-stage funding and will debut its technology at the Intersolar conference in San Diego next month.
The company is using the funding to come out of stealth and deploy its Robo-Labor to early customers this year, for whom robots can fill labor shortages in harsh outdoor conditions, complete the most dangerous tasks in hazardous work environments, and improve project efficiency and costs maximize. savings. With an accuracy of 1mm when performing fine motor skills such as picking, placing, pressing, twisting and connecting, the Robo-Labor features all-terrain mobility, precision manipulation, learning, communication and safety compliance capabilities.
The end-use applications for RoboForce are diverse. The startup’s target industries include solar, aerospace, manufacturing and mining, sectors that the U.S. Bureau of Labor identified as being a part of most affected by injuries and job losses due to unsafe summer temperatures and other work-related hazards.
RoboForce’s first customers are developing commercial and large-scale solar projects and are struggling to hire and retain skilled workers. By providing robots that can withstand harsh and extreme environmental conditions over years of project life, RoboForce helps solar developers complete the construction and installation of large-scale projects faster or on time, and at a lower cost.
“At RoboForce, our mission is to create robotics for humanity to boost the global economy with the power of Robo-Labor. We build the most advanced Robo-Labor system to perform the most tedious, physically demanding and dangerous tasks that humans should not do. We are committed to creating the industry-leading, highly intelligent ‘super worker’ system to redefine the future of industrial work, making it safer, more efficient and more sustainable,” said Leo Ma, Founder and CEO of RoboForce.
