  1. Drilling

    Borobotics

    Borobotics builds fleets of autonomous drilling robots to scale ground-source heat pumps.

    Their compact robots dramatically reduce cost, required space, and carbon emissions, compared to conventional drilling rigs. By making geothermal heat pumps feasible for more buildings, they accelerate the energy transition for cities.
