Welcome aboard, Liz Olson! 🚀
My new chapter as a founding robotics engineer at Cosmic Robotics has been off to a great start! I'm thrilled to help leverage robotics and AI for the future of renewable energy 🌎 ☀️ 🤖
We’re proud to be part of the JLL Foundation’s mission to accelerate climate solutions. Their support has enabled us to push forward in building and deploying Cosmic-1A, a tool designed to make essential progress in scaling solar, meet surging electricity demand, and unlock the next frontier of renewable energy construction. Every megawatt installed is a step toward a cleaner, more resilient future. At Cosmic, we’re focused on developing new tools—ones built for the field, tested in extreme conditions, and designed to work alongside the skilled builders driving this transition. Huge thanks to JLL Foundation for providing catalytic funding to startups building the future. 🚀
JLL Foundation is dedicated to impacting climate change now and in the future. In its third year, the Foundation supported 18 early-stage climate-impacting start-ups with catalytic funding - bringing the Foundation's total impact to 47 companies that have received more than $11 million in loans. Our unique approach: ✅ Provide zero-interest loans to pre-seed and seed-stage companies ✅ Reinvest returns to fund future innovation ✅ Focus on founders and solutions contributing to a clean economy, creating green jobs and transforming their industries Discover more about JLL Foundation's impact and the companies it is supporting here: https://co.jll/4bhG5G7 #JLLF #sustainability #impactinvesting

SN-0001 "TARS" absolutely killed it on Cosmic Robotics's first field test at a customer site. I was spooked about deploying in one of the dustiest areas of the country I've ever visited, but the months of development paid off and the vehicle held up great. We gathered incredible insights across the chart and I'm stoked to continue pushing our iteration rate even faster. We have several robotics software engineer roles open and are rapidly growing the team. If you're excited about accelerating Earth's transition to renewable infrastructures and developing autonomous systems to build cities on Mars, you'll fit right into our team of ex-NASA, Amazon, Google, SpaceX, and Built Robotics engineers. Come build the future with us. Huge thanks to the team at Sunstall Inc. - Helge Biernath, Craig Dinsdale, Philipp Kauls, Julia Michel, and thanks Sebastian Werz for the great footage! #construction #robotics #solar #hiringalert

As a former Autodesk employee turned founder, it was an honor to work alongside the talented Autodesk Research team again and share a sneak peek of what we've been building this year. At Cosmic Robotics, we're accelerating the future of construction and growing fast. If building cutting-edge robotics to tackle today’s critical challenges fires you up, let’s talk.
As aging infrastructure and labor shortages challenge the construction industry, innovative companies like Cosmic Robotics are stepping up to develop solutions that take advantage of recent advancements in robotics and automation. Watch the video, and learn from co-founders Lewis J. and James Emerick discussing how they’ve employed the cutting-edge hardware and software provided by the Autodesk Research Residency Program to rapidly prototype and iterate solutions. https://autode.sk/3BJ8uHy #robotics #construction #research

We're movie stars now! 📸 Absolutely stoked to be highlighted by Autodesk on how Cosmic Robotics is accelerating the transition to renewable infrastructures - check out the full post here: https://lnkd.in/dwGPduTQ Autodesk Research has been an amazing partner from day 1 and their residency program has easily accelerated our development by months. Before we'd raised a penny, we got to brainstorm our technology with the brilliant minds on their robotics research group and use their machine shop and facilities for initial testing! Thank you so much Shveta Berry and the rest of the team for the beautiful video, and more thanks to Angela Foss, Nick Cote, Omari Barron, Gabrielle Patin, Srinidhi Bharadwaj, and everyone else at Pier 9 for all your support! We have more exciting news coming soon... stay tuned 👀

GIANT ROBOT ALERT!! Incredibly excited to show off how future solar farms will be built with our Cosmic-1 platform. We hit another huge milestone with fully autonomous solar panel installation at our test facility last week. This demo was put together just 4 months after starting development which is absolutely breakneck speed for any robotics product, let alone an outdoor construction robot. To hit US’s renewable infrastructure build out targets, automation is absolutely critical. Today, crews of manual laborers have to install millions of 80lb solar panels to build solar farms by hand and there’s a larger backlog of projects than ever before. Cosmic-1 will radically accelerate the rate of construction and combat the increasing labor shortage in the sector. Next up is deployment to solar farms… stay tuned!
It’s already been an incredible time so far at SF Deep Tech Week! You know it’s a special occasion when you get to load your car-sized robot onto an aircraft carrier and show it off in the middle of a gigarave. Thanks to everyone that stopped by for a chat, and special thanks to Andrew Cote and team for organizing. If you haven’t RSVP’ed yet, make sure you sign up for the robotics happy hour event we’re hosting on Saturday! https://lu.ma/rrthxunf
