Sleipner Robotics

Unmanned ground vehicles that use AI terrain interpretation to move through forest and mining terrain without roads.

Harvesting & machineryÖrnsköldsvik, SwedenFounded 2024

Sleipner Robotics AB develops unmanned ground vehicles and autonomous systems for off-road environments without roads or fixed infrastructure. The machines use sensors, cameras, and AI-based terrain interpretation to navigate rough ground in forestry and mining settings. The company participates in BizMaker's Forest Business Accelerator and is setting up industrial-partner-co-financed pilots.

    Sleipner Robotics Lines Up Forest and Mine Pilots for Unmanned Ground Vehicles

    Sundsvall startup Sleipner Robotics, founded in 2024 by ex-defense engineer Sverker Svärdby, is moving from prototype to pilot through BizMaker's Forest Business Accelerator (SCA, IBM, Sweco, RISE). Targets run from clearing and planting in forests to transport and rescue in mines. Svärdby's pitch is that machines built unmanned from the start can be optimised for the task rather than for a human cab, which keeps them simpler and cheaper than retrofitted manned platforms. Pilots are co-financed by industrial partners; an investor round is open in parallel.
