Cosmic Robotics

Infraday-curated

San Francisco, California, United States

Autonomous heavy-lift construction robots for utility-scale solar, data centers, and other critical infrastructure.

Overview

Cosmic Robotics develops autonomous construction equipment for critical infrastructure. Its first machine, Cosmic-1, is a mobile heavy-lift robot designed to work alongside field crews on repetitive material-handling and placement tasks. The company reports deployments on large U.S. solar farms, where the system has installed tens of thousands of panels and more than doubled labor productivity, and is expanding toward data-center construction. Cosmic also reports lunar construction robotics work under contract with NASA. The San Francisco company was founded by James Emerick and Lewis C. Jones and joined Y Combinator’s Summer 2026 batch.
