Company Overview

Cosmic Robotics is tackling one of the most critical challenges of our time: building infrastructure faster, safer, and more efficiently to meet the demands of humanity on Earth – and beyond. Construction is the foundation of society and we need new tools to solve age-old challenges: projects take too long, cost too much, and don’t scale to what is needed.

Our mission is to accelerate the construction of critical infrastructure on Earth while pioneering technologies to enable humanity to build more ambitiously than ever. Starting with Cosmic-1 – a system that installs solar panels 10x faster than today’s methods, helping us transition to a clean energy future and laying the groundwork for the future of autonomous construction.
