Cosmic Robotics

Cosmic Robotics builds autonomous robotic construction equipment, starting with utility-scale solar farms and expanding toward data centers. Its Cosmic-1A, an eight-wheeled electric heavy-lift robot with a six-axis manipulator, installs solar panels, and the company reports it has more than doubled labor productivity across tens of thousands of panels on US solar sites. The Constellation software plans and coordinates jobsites, and the Particle AI platform automates quality assurance and asset tracking in the field.

The company describes a four-layer roadmap spanning electric construction-scale hardware, a safe adaptive robot controller, edge reasoning operators, and city-scale coordinating agents, targeting autonomous construction as early as 2033 with a long-term mission of building a city on Mars. It won a 2025 NASA contract for edge-reasoning vision-language models, joined Y Combinator Summer 2026, and raised a $4 million pre-seed led by Giant Ventures after its 2024 founding in San Francisco.
