Aether Robotics designs and manufactures autonomous inspection drones for critical infrastructure. Our AI-powered drones inspect bridges, offshore wind farms, oil rigs, and power lines — reducing inspection costs by 70% while improving safety and accuracy.
Built on patented computer vision technology developed at Imperial College London, Aether's drones can detect structural defects invisible to the human eye. Our systems have inspected over 12,000 km of infrastructure across the UK, Scandinavia, and the Middle East.
Backed by £18M in Series A funding from Atomico and Octopus Ventures, we're scaling production at our Bristol advanced manufacturing facility and expanding into water infrastructure and railway inspection.
What is it like building robots at Aether?
"Every day you come in and there is something on a workbench that did not exist yesterday. We shipped our first warehouse robot in 18 months from founding. The engineering bar is high but the team genuinely supports each other."
Manage customer relationships and enterprise sales pipeline.
Develop motion planning and perception software for warehouse automation robots.
