Hive Robotics raises €2M to enable robot collaboration across air, land, sea, and space

Founded in 2025, Hive Robotics develops compact, modular systems that integrate robot control, perception, localisation, and secure communications built to perform even in GPS/GNSS-denied environments. Its proprietary Onboard AI and distributed sensor fusion enable unmanned systems, from lightweight drones to heavy ground and maritime vehicles, to operate and collaborate seamlessly.

With unmanned systems rapidly expanding across air, land, sea, and even space, Hive Robotics addresses the need for secure, cost-effective, and reliable infrastructure through its C3 (Command, Control, Connect) architecture. This framework simplifies robotics complexity, allowing multiple platforms to collaborate as a unified system.

Practical applications include drone swarms detecting wildfires or threats and instantly sharing data, search and rescue missions where sensor-equipped drones locate disaster survivors, and combined air, ground, and maritime operations that enhance navigation, defence, and infrastructure monitoring. The platform also provides a flexible foundation for building new civil and defence-specific use cases.

According to Sebastian Mores, CEO and co-founder of Hive Robotics, the world is nearing a major automation shift, with millions of unmanned systems expected to operate across air, sea, land, and space. He commented:

While the core technologies have existed for years, true integration into human environments requires rigorous safety, robust security, and globally aligned standards, as well as systems that can seamlessly work together.

Global demand for robotics and autonomous systems is accelerating, with forecasts pointing to multi-billion-dollar annual markets by 2025 and beyond. Yet, two major hurdles remain: meeting safety standards for use in populated areas and ensuring smooth integration across different domains.

Hive Robotics is tackling both challenges, enabling advanced swarming capabilities for use in disaster response, defence, critical-infrastructure monitoring, mining, and even space exploration. With the new funding, the company will grow its engineering team and push forward its technology roadmap, allowing it to deliver innovative solutions faster and at scale.

About Hive Robotics

Hive Robotics EU is based in Denmark develops software and system-of-systems solutions to coordinate and control multiple unmanned platforms—across air, land, and sea for missions such as defence, infrastructure monitoring, and search and rescue. Its technology is designed to enable collaboration in complex environments, even where GPS is unavailable. At the core of its innovation is the C3 architecture (Command, Control, Connect), which seamlessly integrates different types of robots and unlocks swarming capabilities. This approach allows unmanned systems to work together more effectively, achieving outcomes far greater than what each could deliver alone.
