Founded in 2025, Seal Robotics builds robotics and AI-driven systems that replace manual, high-risk processes in terminal logistics, starting with twistlock and pin handling used to secure containers on ships and trains. These activities are among the most dangerous and time-critical steps in container handling, and the company’s solution is designed to improve occupational safety, reliability, and process predictability for terminal operators facing labor shortages. Leveraging expertise drawn from space robotics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the team is engineering hardware that can be remotely operated and function reliably in harsh maritime environments. With its newly raised capital, Seal Robotics plans to expand ongoing pilot projects in Northern Europe and Southeast Asia and to launch its first commercial robotic systems within the next year. Over the coming twelve months the company will also grow its engineering and operations teams and deepen partnerships with terminal operators worldwide. The pre-seed financing of approximately €1.8 million provides the resources to meet growing demand for container-handling automation and to harden the technology for full-scale deployment.
