For investors and grant reviewers
Sarthi Robotics delivers autonomous inspection for underground and connectivity-denied industrial sites: robots that need no network, no pilot, and no babysitting, turning every run into a decision-ready report. This page holds what you can verify publicly; the rest is in the deck.
What you can check before we ever talk
A field record that predates the company
A world-first fully autonomous exploration of more than 1 km of an Icelandic lava tube, post-collapse assessment in an operating iron-ore mine, and years of underground trials across three EU research programs. All of it public, published, and checkable before a single call.
A market that still sends people
Kilometers of underground and confined workings are inspected on foot today: slow, dangerous, and mostly undocumented. The platforms sold into connected plants stop where the network does, and the network stops at the portal.
A founder from the environment
PhD and postdoc in field robotics at Luleå University of Technology, 20 peer-reviewed publications, and standing trial relationships with Nordic operators. The technical moat and the customer access arrive in the same person.
Start with the field record and the founder's publication history.
Where the company is, plainly
Pre-seed and pre-incorporation, founded on eight years of funded field research. The current funding path runs through Nordic and EU deep-tech instruments toward a seed round after the first paid pilot. The plan below is the one we execute against; it is the same one shown to customers.
