REBLADE

We're #hiring #softwaredevelopers for #robotics development. International candidates welcome! We're located in Denmark (EU). #Short #deadline, as we expect to start the interviewing process in less than two weeks.

The 6 most important takeaways from the Robotics Invest panel on The Critical Role of Robotics in Climate Tech, moderated by Abe Murray (AlleyCorp) and featuring speakers Rebecca Hu (Glacier), Frank Kjerstein (REBLADE), and Duncan Turner (SOSV). 🌿 "We can't keep throwing people at the problem." We can't rely on manual interventions alone to tackle the global climate emergency. Robotics is vital to scaling climate action because of the sheer magnitude of the crisis and the imperative to tackle it now rather than in 2050. "Greater productivity and efficiency solves for climate." 🌿 "Robots are taking peoples' jobs" is an incomplete statement. "Robots are taking peoples' jobs and giving them careers." Rebecca and Frank witnessed this firsthand with their clients. Coupling automation with upskilling has led to upward mobility, resulting in higher-paid positions like robotics maintenance, while robots focus on dull, dangerous, and dirty jobs. "It's a win-win." 🌿 "What do you call a climate robot that works?" A great business ; ) Obviously, there's so much more to it, which the panel delved into. It's possible to have stellar unit economics as a robotics startup and even to be margin-positive. Be obsessed with your client's problem. Startups can bring down their OpEx if they can make their robots more general while keeping the same bill of materials, for example. 🌿 "Does your climate robotics startup pass the Mr. Burns test?" Build a product that Mr. Burns (the greedy capitalist from The Simpsons) would buy not because it scales climate action but because it's the best / cheapest / most convenient. That's the key to climate impact at scale. 🌿 "Ok, yes, let's give ourselves a quick pat on the back, but let's not kid ourselves; the climate crisis is absolutely massive." This important point was made at the end of the panel, which placed the session's optimism into context. Entire industries and national-scale public infrastructures need to be completely transformed in the coming decades. 🌿 The only question from the audience focused on using climate robotics in more resource-constrained environments where communities are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis. There was only time for one panelist to jump in. They suggested that climate robotics ought to focus more on climate mitigation than adaptation because they're optimistic that the worst consequences of the climate crisis can still be averted. [but for whom?] 🌻 My take: Superb speakers, masterfully moderated, and packed full of incredible insights. If only we'd had more time for the question on resource-constrained environments. Also, what is the carbon footprint of climate robotics? Lastly, climate robotics investors (almost exclusively from the "Global North") are deciding which climate robotics solutions get funded. Could we expand the circle and co-create a "Code of Ethics" with investors to help broaden investment decisions on #ClimateTech?

We're humbled that Reblade was chosen by seven #energy companies as a #renewableenergy solution #finalist in the Free Electrons Program competition. In Reblade we are currently #buzzing with joy, as we are proud to be be among such strong startups, passionate #founders and fantastic tech solutions - all competing to improve renewable energy in real-world applications for energy companies. Right now, we are booking flight tickets and looking forward to show-casing our technology in Montreal, Canada as the next leg in the Free Electrons competition. We're very, very proud to have such a strong #team and to offer energy companies a #transformative technology for automating leading edge erosion repair of wind turbine blades. Go Reblade!

We're proud that Reblade is an Extreme Tech Challenge finalist! Our #team and technology has been selected as one of the five final startups "that can scale massively while making a meaningful #impact on our planet" in the Global Deep Tech Startup competition. More than 10.000 startups from more than 120 countries have applied over the last nine years, so we're definitely among #worldclass startups - and a bit #overwhelmed! In addition to the nomination, we are naturally delighted to be part of Extreme Tech Challenge as the world’s largest ecosystem for positive climate change, which strives to create pathways for impactful partnerships and drive sustainable change. We look forward to meeting climate pioneers and startup peers and to shake hands with committed investors, multinational corporations, industry titans, governments, knowledge institutions and philanthropists in a joint discussion of robotics and positive climate change.

Together with Rebecca Hu from Glacier, Duncan Turner from SOSV and Abe Murray from AlleyCorp, REBLADE will join the panel at the Robotics Invest 2024 summit next week in Boston, USA to discuss the critical role of robotics in climate tech. Check the two-day agenda at: https://lnkd.in/dTDf4G4v The two keynote speakers at the summit will be Marc Raibert, founder and chairman of Boston Dynamics, and Dean Kamen, inventor of Segway and iBOT and founder of the FIRST organization. If you are interested in the transformative potential of robotics solutions in addressing environmental challenges, please reach out to the #RoboticsInvest24 team at https://lnkd.in/dqvC_VFW for a ticket to join the vibrant ecosystem of robotics pioneers at the summit on the 11th-12th of June 2024. Among others, you can meet founders from Humatics, AirWorks, Rightbot Technologies , Verve Motion, Realtime Robotics, Inc., RISE™Robotics, Rugged Robotics, KEWAZO, Anyware Robotics, Collaborative Robotics, Plus One Robotics, Locus Robotics and SonyAI. See you in Boston?
