SPRINT Robotics
SPRINT Robotics is an industry-led, not-for-profit collaborative established in 2015 to accelerate the practical use of robotics and physical AI for the inspection, maintenance, and operation (I&M) of capital-intensive infrastructure. Our network brings together more than 130 organizations worldwide, including asset owners, service providers, and technology developers, with a shared focus on improving safety, data quality, and operational efficiency through field-proven robotic solutions.
As an end-user-driven initiative, SPRINT Robotics works to bridge the gap between technology development and large-scale industrial deployment. We connect asset owners directly with suppliers to define operational requirements, identify technical barriers, and guide solution development. By coordinating work on industry guidelines, common standards, and certification approaches, we support the technical and commercial maturity needed for broader adoption across critical assets.
Through specialized workgroups, training programs, and knowledge-sharing platforms, SPRINT Robotics enables companies to validate performance, exchange practical experience, and accelerate the deployment of robotics at high technical readiness level in operational environments.
