HEBI Robotics received a $250,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Army to develop hardware for hazardous environments.
The company plans to create modular building blocks and tools to reduce the time and expense for building full robots certified for hazardous workspaces.
The grant will enable HEBI Robotics to develop Class I, Division 1-certified robots capable of operating in environments with explosive and volatile materials.
If successful, this project could lead to further collaboration and expanded funding for full-scale production, with the aim to enhance safety in military and industrial applications.
