Libra Robotics on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: We’re building collaborative robotic crews for large-scale infrastructure projects, including solar farms and data centers. 002C: “002A, 5.3 mm left.” 002B: “002A, you’re running low. Next pallet is on the way.” 002C: “Am I clear to come in?” 002A: “Aligned. Panel released. You’re clear.” 002C: “Fastening.” 002B: “Next load arriving now.” This isn’t a human crew talking. It’s three robots building a utility-scale solar farm together. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Libra Robotics builds autonomous solar installation robots for projects from 1 MW upward across utility-scale, commercial and industrial, community solar, and agrivoltaic applications." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Jermaine Zhao, Founder/CEO: EE & ME @ Stanford Full-stack Robotics Engineer Founder @ Libra Robotics Go to sleep. Wake up. The solar farm is built. (source)
  • Yaojing Huang, Founder/COO: Stanford Civil Engineering+CS | PhD defended in Construction Robotics Dissertation on shared robotic platforms and reusable construction skills across tasks. Research at Center for Integrated Facility Engineering and the Stanford Robotics Center; taught Stanford’s Construction Robotics course; worked with 40+ contractors and robotics companies worldwide.
