Top Sensors Startups in 2027

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.

The Roambee Corporation is an “Internet of Things” supply chain and enterprise asset visibility company. We are pushing the boundaries on real time visibility of assets and goods outside the four walls of global enterprise with patented hardware and software technology combined with an array of sensor data, proprietary analytics, predictive reporting, and open APIs. Ultimately, Roambee’s IoT solutions will address a broad portfolio of enterprise challenges - not only for supply chain and in-field asset monitoring – but anywhere lack of real-time visibility creates inefficiencies and risk.

Twin Health is a revolutionary Precision Health platform combining IoT Sensors, Machine Learning, and Medical Science to reverse chronic diseases like diabetes and improve human metabolic health. It was founded by experienced entrepreneurs with extensive experience building software platforms used by more than 100 million devices around the world. We are backed by Sequoia Capital, Iconiq Capital, Perceptive Advisors, Corner Ventures, LTS Investments, Helena and Sofina with $183M in Series A, Series B, and Series C funding. At Twin, we have achieved groundbreaking medical results for chronic disease reversal (12 papers published in top medical journals) using our patent-pending Whole Body Digital Twin™ technology (5 patents filed), which analyzes complex biosignals from wearable sensors, predicts metabolic outcomes using ML, and recommends highly-personalized treatments based on the metabolic profile of each patient. Our interdisciplinary team consists of engineers, scientists, and medical doctors who collaborate closely to develop these technologies and deliver exceptional health outcomes. We launched our product in 2018 with an initial focus on diabetes; doctors and coaches use our IoT- and ML-based software platform to improve the health of diabetic patients every day.

Tombot makes robotic animals that transform the daily life of individuals, families and communities facing health adversities. Originally designed to meet the specific medical needs of seniors with dementia, Tombot Puppies have also been preordered for children with Autism, adults with high impact chronic pain, major depressive disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD, and for long inpatient stays and arduous outpatient treatments at hospitals. Peer-reviewed studies show that robotic animals positively affect some users’ ability to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression and pain, reducing their need for psychotropic and opioid medications. Key Milestones and Metrics: • Completion of our 5th generation prototype and 3rd round of customers studies with 100s of seniors with dementia • Over 3,900 preorder and waitlist customers • Member of StartX: Stanford-funded startup accelerator program • Member of the Canadian Creative Destruction Lab accelerator program • Member of Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles accelerator program (CTIP) • Large-scale clinical trials in development with Children’s Hospital and the University of Southern California to demonstrate reduced stress, anxiety and pain for pediatric hospital inpatients • Large scale study in development with the LAC-USC Hospital Burn Unit to demonstrate reduced stress, anxiety, and pain for pediatric burn patients • Major national and international media coverage • Winner 2019 RoboBusiness Pitchfire competition • Filed multiple trademark, design and provisional utility patent applications • U.S. TAM: $9.0B (seniors with dementia plus mild cognitive impairment)

About RBR Since 1973, RBR has been designing and manufacturing oceanographic instruments in Ottawa, Ontario to measure our blue planet. The effects of climate change are being seen from the ocean’s abyss to the polar ice caps and our sensors quantify this change to support better analysis, improved planning, and more effective mitigation strategies. Our instruments measure water parameters in some of the harshest environments on the planet! They are mounted on underwater drones, dropped out of planes, and sent to the bottom of the ocean – sometimes for years at a time – all in an effort to get precise and accurate data to support climate research! We have been fortunate to be able to partner with some of the world's leaders in the field of ocean science, like Fisheries and Oceans Canada, The Scripps Institution of Oceanography, The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, The Norwegian Polar Institute, and The British Antarctic Survey, just to name a few!

Ndustrial exists to accelerate the optimization of Energy Intensity in industrial facilities and has helped avoid over $100 million in energy spend. Their production-first approach helps clients find – and automate – the energy-saving opportunities that make sense for them. Their Energy Intensity platform integrates over 60 different systems into a single view, processing over 100 million data points every day to enable smarter energy decisions in real time. Ndustrial’s motto, “We help you find energy,” focuses the team to drive down Energy Intensity, decrease costs and increase sustainable operations inside the walls of every industrial facility.

Infogrid is making the unfulfilled promise of scalable smart buildings via IoT (Internet of Things) a reality. Our goal is to be the global go-to provider for connected devices in smart buildings, creating dynamic solutions for everyday challenges. Our mantra is "keep it simple, keep it stable" and this ethos drives our product development.

At OpenSignal, big data meets sensor networks. Our mission is to become the global authority on wireless networks. Our main consumer products, OpenSignal (a top developer app) and WifiMapper (featured as best new app), are mobile signal, coverage map and WiFi crowdsourcing apps with over 13 million downloads around the world. OpenSignal enables consumers to stay connected better and longer and allows mobile operators to benchmark and improve their networks. To date, we have provided wireless market insights to customers such as McKinsey, Opera, Telefonica and ChinaMobile.
