Korial (former Energy Robotics)

Corporate marketinspectionenergyCurated record
korial.com

TU Darmstadt spin-off that rebranded from Energy Robotics to Korial in 2025; it does NOT build its own robots but offers a hardware-agnostic, full-stack enterprise AI platform (Kore AI core, Connect integration backbone, Recreate digital twins, Sustain support) that turns third-party legged (Boston Dynamics Spot), wheeled and aerial (DJI) robots into autonomous inspectors for oil & gas, chemical and utility sites including ATEX/IECEx hazardous zones. Reclassified from vendor to integrator because the platform integrates third-party robot hardware rather than manufacturing it.
