The U.S. Air Force awarded Renu Robotics a $749,971 SBIR Phase II contract to advance autonomous robotic vegetation management for military installations.

  • The award began on March 8, 2022 under contract FA8649-22-P-0657 and ran through March 11, 2023.
  • The work applied Renubot autonomous electric mowing to large operational areas and utility-scale solar sites.
  • Renubot combined RTK positioning, LiDAR and cameras for obstacle avoidance, remote management and centimetre-scale positioning.

Renu Robotics builds autonomous electric mowing robots for vegetation management at utility-scale solar and energy facilities. More than 100 units are operating in the field, and the RenuBot platform uses RTK GPS, lidar, AI and fleet-management software.
