Zoa and Flarebright: 2021’s Coolest Robotics Startups - Britbots

Dominic Keen • March 25, 2021

Well done to Zoa and Flarebright who were recently named as amougst "the coolest robotics startups shaping the future of UK tech in 2021" by UKTN.

Zoa develops highly mobile legged robots. The tele-operated robotic inspection service enhances resilience by reducing human close contact, reducing engineer travel requirements and strengthening engineer deployment flexibility. It is a strong contender to Boston Dynamic’s Spot that intends to automate routine inspection tasks.

Flare Bright specialises in its UAS product SnapShot, a truly autonomous drone that doesn’t rely on GPS or electromagnetic communication (both which can be can often be denied and spoofed ) and instead uses an un-jammable internal means of flight control and navigation.
