Swiss startup Jaipur Robotics Raises €4.3 Million to Expand Industrial AI Technology

The round was led by EquityPitcher Ventures and High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF).

Jaipur Robotics uses AI and computer vision to help waste-to-energy plants monitor waste, improve operations and reduce safety risks. Its technology can detect hazardous materials, support better waste mixing and help automate crane operations.

The company says its system has been trained using more than 50 million labelled images from European waste-to-energy plants and currently analyses over five million tonnes of waste each year.

Jaipur Robotics also claims that its technology has helped some plants reduce unplanned shutdowns by more than 80%.

The company will use the new funding to expand into new markets and further develop its technology for waste-to-energy facilities and other industrial applications.

“We envision a future where data from waste fully drives safety and automation. This round enables us to revolutionise entire plant operations,” Ermes Zamboni, co-founder and CEO of Jaipur Robotics.

Anna Stetter, Investment Manager at HTGF, said, “What convinced us to co-lead this round is the combination of a dataset, a founding team with rare depth across mechanical engineering, deep learning, and industrial deployment, and outstanding, measurable results at customer sites.”
