HUSQVARNA INVESTS IN GERMAN ROBOTICS STARTUP Husqvarna Group has announced an investment in Angsa Robotics , a Munich , Germany-based startup that focuses on automated waste collection in green spaces . The investment by Husqvarna Ventures , the company ’ s corporate venture-capital arm , aims to accelerate the development and commercialization of Angsa ’ s robotics platform , the company reports .
Angsa Robotics is developing an autonomous solution designed to provide a cost-efficient , ecologically friendly and AI-adaptive robot for waste collection in green spaces . With its ability to navigate autonomously , detect obstacles and collect litter , the device using Angsa Robotics ’ technology offers another opportunity within green space management .
“ Husqvarna Ventures sees significant potential in Angsa Robotics ’ unique solution for automating waste collection in green spaces ,” says Mark Johnson , head of Husqvarna Ventures . “ By investing at an early stage , Husqvarna can contribute to the development of Angsa ’ s innovative technology and collaborate around potential future product offerings . This investment aligns perfectly with our strategy to explore new complementary robotics applications and address the evolving needs of commercial green space management .”
Lukas Wiesmeier , CEO and co-founder of Angsa Robotics , says , “ We are thrilled to have Husqvarna Ventures as our strategic investor . Their deep understanding of the robotics market , combined with their extensive global network , will provide invaluable support in scaling our development and accelerating our goto-market strategy . We look forward to collaborating with Husqvarna Group to bring our cutting-edge robotics platform to customers worldwide .”
Angsa Robotics was the Overall Winner of the Galileo Masters 2020 , a global innovation competition scouting for cutting-edge solutions using satellite navigation data . The Galileo Masters website states , “ Angsa Robotics has developed Germany ’ s first autonomous rubbish robot . ‘ Clive ’ can move independently and detect and localize individual objects based on its unique artificial neural network architecture , which enables it to clean grass and gravel areas . Individual objects such as crown caps or cigarette butts are targeted for collection , but insects are spared . Since conventional sweeping machines designed for flat asphalted surfaces cannot be used , other types of areas typically have to be cleaned manually . Its target use cases include the cleaning of festival venues after events and the daily cleaning of parks and other green spaces .”
