BeeX
The Singapore deeptech cutting the tether on underwater inspection - autonomous drones that survey ships, wind farms and seabeds without divers, ROV pilots or a support vessel overhead.
Salem Robotics
Salem Robotics builds autonomy software that turns robots already on-site at nuclear and other hazardous facilities into reliable, regulation-compliant radiological survey operators. Using a deterministic planning approach tailored to safety-critical infrastructure, its hardware-agnostic platform lets robots walk predetermined routes, handle instruments, collect radiation measurements, and generate auditable compliance reports - replacing hours of manual surveys that today pull trained radiation-protection technicians into exposure zones. Founded by Los Alamos and UT Austin robotics veterans, the company is a Y Combinator S26 company based in Austin, Texas.
Scout Space
Scout Space is a Reston, Virginia defense and space company building the sensing layer for orbit. It develops electro-optical and infrared sensors (Owl and Sparrow), onboard autonomy software co-developed with the U.S. Space Force, and edge-processing and mission-design platforms that let spacecraft detect, track, and characterize objects in orbit - even without ground contact. Scout's pitch: a proliferated network of in-space sensors is fundamental to operating safely in an increasingly crowded and contested orbital environment.
