The verified answer

As of Sep 2026, DEPLOY verifies Cosmic-1A, a other by Cosmic Robotics (prototype). 1 source back the record.

Overview

An eight-wheeled autonomous robot topped with a 6-axis industrial robotic arm for heavy-lift manipulation. Designed for utility-scale solar panel installation, it autonomously tows trailers of solar panels, lifts 90-pound panels with suction cups, and places them with millimeter accuracy at a rate of one panel every 30-40 seconds. Powered by the proprietary Particle AI platform for real-time perception and decision-making.

Common questions

What is Cosmic-1A?
An eight-wheeled autonomous robot topped with a 6-axis industrial robotic arm for heavy-lift manipulation. Designed for utility-scale solar panel installation, it autonomously tows trailers of solar panels, lifts 90-pound panels with suction cups, and places them with millimeter accuracy at a rate of one panel every 30-40 seconds. Powered by the proprietary Particle AI platform for real-time perception and decision-making.
How much does Cosmic-1A cost?
Cosmic-1A's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for Cosmic-1A from Cosmic Robotics. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.
Is Cosmic-1A actually deployed in the real world?
Cosmic-1A is at the prototype stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.
Who makes Cosmic-1A?
Cosmic-1A is made by Cosmic Robotics, based in San Francisco, California, USA, founded in 2023.
Can you buy Cosmic-1A?
Cosmic-1A is at prototype stage and is not yet available for sale.
What are alternatives to Cosmic-1A?
On the DEPLOY registry, comparable other robots to Cosmic-1A include BrainOS, 10Beauty Manicure System, CleanSpark Bitcoin Mining Fleet, Hivemind.
How does Cosmic-1A compare to BrainOS?
Cosmic-1A and BrainOS (Brain Corp · 7 deployments) are both other robots on the DEPLOY registry. Cosmic-1A has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
Is Cosmic-1A a top other?
On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, Cosmic-1A ranks in roughly the top 77% of other models tracked by the registry.
What is Cosmic-1A's maturity stage?
Cosmic-1A is at the prototype stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Prototype stage means demonstrations exist but commercial readiness is not yet established.
Where is Cosmic-1A deployed?
No verified deployments of Cosmic-1A are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
Is Cosmic-1A safe?
Cosmic-1A has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
