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.
Asylon Robotics builds US-made robotic security systems that pair autonomous aerial drones with ground robots (its Spot-based DroneDog) and AI command software to automate perimeter patrols for corporate campuses, logistics hubs, and critical infrastructure. Sold as Robotic Security as a Service and backed by a 24/7 Robotic Security Operations Center, the platform has run more than 250,000 missions across deployments in 15 U.S. states for customers including Ford, Bayer, GXO, Kia, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
