Sol Robotics

Corporate marketconstructioncobotCurated record

Builds a long-reach mobile robotic arm platform (HERA architecture) with proprietary linear actuation, targeting elevated construction tasks such as painting, drywall finishing, sanding and inspection. The system claims 7.5 m maximum reach, 15 kg payload at 3 m, and 4-hour runtime with hot-swap batteries. Business model combines painting-as-a-service for commercial customers with technology licensing. Backed by 2025 NSF SBIR and NASA Phase I awards; a Viam case study documents the software stack.
