ANT61 builds intelligent autonomous robots that take on the work too dangerous for people — in mines and deserts, on the ocean floor, and in orbit.
What we build
Self-directed robots that build, inspect, and service critical infrastructure in deserts, deep mines, and the ocean floor — replacing the human in places built for machines, not bodies.
Robotic skills trained with deep reinforcement learning, running on the ANT61 Brain — the world's first space-grade neuromorphic computer. Machines that learn to act on their own.
In-orbit satellite servicing — autonomous docking, de-tumbling, refueling, and repair. Flight-proven hardware, deployed by SpaceX.
Flagship · Space hardware
The world's first space-grade neuromorphic computer — real-time AI perception and decision-making at a fraction of the power. Already flown by SpaceX aboard the Space Machines Optimus-1 spacecraft. It's how our robots think for themselves where no human can intervene.
The Beacon — an independent health-and-comms guardian for satellites: monitors health, detects anomalies, restores the link when the main system fails.
Anomaly detection
Continuous telemetry
Remote firmware
Backup commsOne platform, four form factors.
Why we exist
Contaminated sites, collapsed structures, the bottom of a mine, the vacuum of orbit — the most dangerous work is also the most automatable. ANT61 designs autonomous systems that step into that danger so a human never has to.
Heritage & proof
ANT61 was founded in 2021 in Sydney by engineers who ship real hardware — our CEO Mikhail Asavkin previously worked on the GLONASS satellite navigation system. Our AI brain has flown with SpaceX, our autonomy is trained on AWS, and our discipline now drives robots on the ground.
Investors
ANT61 is backed by Techstars — one of the world's leading startup accelerators — as part of its 2023 cohort. Their conviction helps us scale autonomous robotics from proven space heritage into the dangerous, high-stakes work happening on Earth right now.
