Calling robotics startups: Apply now to be part of the 2026 Robotics Startup Radar

By Brianna Wessling | September 4, 2026

Robotics Startup Radar.

The robotics industry is rapidly changing and growing. Each year, we see new robotics startups launch into the scene with exciting technology. At The Robot Report, we want to help our readers keep up with this ever-changing landscape. So, we’re bringing back the Robotics Startup Radar.

Today, we’re opening submissions for our 2026 list. We’re looking for startups five years or younger with novel full systems, enabling technologies, or business approaches. The system can target any industry or application. Submissions are due Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026.

Once submissions close, our editorial team will carefully consider each submission. Submitting does not guarantee a startup a spot on the final list.

Last year, we compiled a list of 100 promising robotics startups. It included startups targeting everything from autonomous mobility and humanoid design to industrial automation and more.

If you’re running a young business, the Robotics Startup Radar provides you with a new platform to talk about your technology. It can also bring your startup to the attention of high-profile investors, experienced engineers, and other trailblazing founders.

The Robotics Startup Radar is sponsored by Maxon Precision Motors and PTC.
