What is the world's first AI-enabled solar robot?

The world’s first AI-enabled solar robot. Maximo deploys solar panels in half the time at half the cost. Maximo is a true partner to solar construction crews, using artificial intelligence to automate the heavy lifting of solar panels and accelerate solar installation. Automated: A high-speed robotic arm performs the precise panel installation.

Can a robot light a solar panel rack?

Workers spot the robot, ensuring everything looks right before fastening the panel to the rack. The goal is not just to lighten the load, but to speed things along, too. 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.

Can a robotic assistant work on solar panels?

“It’s terrible work in remote places,” James Emerick, co-founder and CEO of Cosmic Robotics, told TechCrunch. To give people a hand, Cosmic has developed a robotic assistant that does the heavy lifting on solar job sites. Utility-scale solar panels can be enormous, weighing up to 90 pounds.

Can a robotic assistant do the heavy lifting on solar job sites?

To give people a hand, Cosmic has developed a robotic assistant that does the heavy lifting on solar job sites. Utility-scale solar panels can be enormous, weighing up to 90 pounds. Workers are required to hoist them onto racks several feet off the ground for hours a day. Such exertion in extreme environments can quickly exhaust a worker, or worse.

How does a solar robot work?

The solar robot results in faster installation and creates safer working conditions, as construction teams do not need to lift heavy commercial solar panels – nor bend to place them – therefore reducing the risk of injury.

Can a robot install solar panels in one day?

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. Currently, Cosmic’s robot, called Cosmic-1A, can install one panel every 30 to 40 seconds, which is about as quick as the fastest human installers.
