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.
Skydio is the largest U.S. drone manufacturer, building autonomous aircraft and software for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure. Its flagship X10 platform uses AI and computer vision to fly itself in places GPS cannot reach.
