Cosmic Robotics’ robots could speed up solar panel deployments
Cosmic Robotics has developed a robotic assistant that does the heavy lifting on solar job sites.
The arm is equipped with suction cups to lift the solar panels and cameras to sense the environment, while high-accuracy GPS helps the vehicle ensure it’s on the right track. Emerick said that Cosmic’s robot could allow a standard crew to be split in two, doubling the amount of solar panels that can be installed in one day. The mechanical pair of helping hands is likely to be welcomed by data center developers, who have been rushing to secure electricity supplies in the face of skyrocketing demand.
