Ursa Robotics

Ursa Robotics, founded in 2018, is a London-based startup developing autonomous, electric vehicles for waste collection, aiming to fully automate the waste management process. Its primary product is a self-driving waste collection vehicle that replaces traditional garbage trucks and communal bins with smart, automated containers. These vehicles operate at night, optimizing collection times to minimize disruption and reduce costs. Ursa Robotics also offers a smaller self-driving container for indoor use (e.g., airports, shopping centers) and outdoor pedestrian areas (e.g., parks). The company leverages AI for navigation and waste detection, offering a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model for scalable deployment. Ursa Robotics has not disclosed funding details but is part of the Promotives GmbH ecosystem, focusing on sustainable urban solutions.
