Jaipur Robotics Raises €4.3 Million, Plans India Expansion
Jaipur Robotics is a startup that helps waste-to-energy plants handle rubbish more safely.
Its cameras and artificial intelligence look through large piles of waste.
The system can find dangerous objects such as gas cylinders, metal parts, and concrete blocks.
It warns crane operators before these objects reach a furnace.
The technology is already used at more than 35 facilities in Europe.
The company has raised €4.3 million to improve its product and grow its team.
It also wants to help control cranes automatically instead of relying only on manual operation.
Jaipur Robotics is now considering expanding into India.
Swiss deeptech startup Jaipur Robotics raised €4.3 million in seed funding co-led by EquityPitcher Ventures and High-Tech Gründerfonds.
The company develops AI-powered computer vision systems that identify hazardous and oversized waste at waste-to-energy plants.
Its technology is deployed across more than 35 facilities in Europe and analyzes over 5 million tonnes of waste annually.
Jaipur Robotics will use the funding for product development, international sales, hiring, and crane-automation features.
The startup is exploring India, where it has a Bengaluru engineering team and plans to establish a legal entity by the end of 2026.
