Top Robotics Startups in 2027

Zoox was founded to make personal transportation safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable—for everyone. To achieve that goal, the team created a whole new form of transportation. Zoox will provide mobility-as-a-service in dense urban environments. We will handle the driving, charging, maintenance, and upgrades for our fleet of vehicles. The rider will simply pay for the service. In 2020, Zoox joined forces with Amazon. And in the process, solidified our future in the autonomous vehicle industry. We are focused on testing on private and public roads as we move towards launching the first Zoox ride-hailing service.

Trexo Robotics builds wearable robots that help children with Cerebral Palsy walk, in many cases for the first time in their lives. Trexo's mission is to enable mobility for everyone, starting with children. The company was started when founder Manmeet Maggu's nephew was diagnosed with CP and was told that he would not be able to walk. Trexo launched its first product for home use, and kids are already using it to walk every day. Families can sign up on trexorobotics.com

AMP Robotics is modernizing the world’s recycling infrastructure by applying AI and automation to increase recycling rates and economically recover recyclables reclaimed as raw materials for the global supply chain.

Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation. To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems. We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes. Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries. What you work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day. We foster a welcoming community within our company that promotes experimentation, asking questions, making simple solutions to complex problems, and expressing different views and opinions. We are a transparent company both internally and externally and do not believe in operating in “stealth mode.” Lastly, we don’t work 60 hour weeks, and don’t expect you to either. In this role you will have a great deal of responsibility, earn a competitive salary and benefits,  and contribute to the development of groundbreaking technology.

We are a company that uses technology to create a better, cleaner and more accessible way to get around. We operate autonomous shuttles in several cities, demonstrating that we are focused on more than just research, we are focused on impact. Transforming cities through autonomous technology to create a safer, greener, more accessible world. We are working with forward-thinking cities to provide a new experience that will make travel safe, simple and reliable.

Wingtra has developed an unmanned aerial robot that flies like a plane, but takes off and lands vertically. The combination of long range and ease of use will make WingtraOne the standard tool to gather data of large assets in various industries. In the professional market, drones are used to gather aerial data of assets. Multicopters like the DJI Phantom are widely used. However, they can map only small areas in a single flight because they are inefficient in forward flight. Therefore large areas are mapped by fixed-wing drones. These systems have to be operated by highly skilled people. They need lots of open space for take-off and landing. Fixed-wing systems need substantial time for setting up. Because of the shortcomings of fixed wings and multirotors, data gathering of large areas has remained expensive. For the first time, drone users get a fixed wing with the usability of a multirotor drone. The WingtraOne can take off and land everywhere and requires no setup time.

Anduril brings Silicon Valley talent and funding to the defense sector, assembling a diverse team of experts in artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor fusion, optics, and data analysis - including senior engineers from Oculus VR, Palantir, General Atomics, SpaceX, Tesla, and Google. We believe that if we build practical solutions using the latest technology, we can deliver far better outcomes at a dramatically lower cost.

AeroVect develops autonomous driving systems (ADS) and management platforms for ground service equipment (GSE) at airports. We are building efficient, safe, and reliable self-driving airport vehicles, beginning with baggage and cargo tractors.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA Sorting Robotics is a technology company building the future hardware and software for the cannabis industry. Specializing in robotics, computer vision, and AI technologies we help cannabis brands and processors reduce costs and enhance their bottom line. As the cannabis industry expands worldwide, so does the demand for industry-leading equipment. To meet this need, we combine real-time production data analytics with modern IoT hardware giving manufacturers of all sizes the monitoring capabilities they need to scale production.

GreyOrange is a fast-growing, venture-backed technology startup that is creating hardware and software products for warehousing industry. These disruptive high-tech products are revolutionizing the traditionally managed logistics and distribution centers by solving operational inefficiencies and increasing productivity. The company is currently focused on products for logistics fulfillment, so as to increase order picking and parcel sortation rates and ultimately reduce the time it takes to replenish store inventory and get orders to consumers’ homes.
