PROTOTYPE

Berlin just hosted the best robotics meetup in Europe. 🦾 We wanted to get 50 friends together. 500 people applied once we put a private page up. The demos were all made in Europe: a fully autonomous electric tractor that lifts 4 tons Voltrac. A multi-ton autonomous excavator sensmore. Drones built fully in Europe HIGHCAT. Anti-drone lasers (Stealth). Strike systems delivered by balloon (Planetfall). A payload that sees landmines through soil (Sapper Intelligence). Multiple robot arms working perfectly in sync (EVASIVE ROBOTICS). Satellite defense lasers (also Stealth). Actual Star Wars stuff. The reason we do this is simple. If these tractors, robots, lasers aren't developed and produced in Europe, they'll be built elsewhere. We need these jobs here. These manufacturing sites here. And the best way to get more founders building them is to show what's already possible and inspire the next ones. Next stops: Today in Athens (join us here https://luma.com/f0alwf8s), soon in Munich and London. If you want to host one, hit us up. This is CLANKERS by PROTOTYPE. For Europe. 🇪🇺🔥

POV: You're at a European startup conference At EU–INC, we just updated our website and published a position paper on Ursula von der Leyen's "EU Inc" proposal. Check it out here: eu-inc.org

I just visited a company in Finland that can turn any transparent surface — windows, glasses, plastic, anything — into a 3D display that perfectly augments what you see behind it. Welcome to Distance Technologies. One of the most exciting companies in Europe right now. And they're only two years old. We're not talking about a tiny rectangle in the corner of your windshield. The entire glass becomes your screen. They showed this to Kia's design team. It led to a concept car with a full edge-to-edge 3D windshield that paints navigation onto the actual road, shows you what the car sees, highlights threats, and yes, could theoretically replace every Pepsi billboard with a Coke one. But the defense side is where it gets serious. As a neighbor to Russia, Finland feels the pain of Ukraine very directly. The Distance team wanted to be part of the solution. Their field operator headset gives soldiers jet fighter-grade situational awareness. Any sensor (thermal, infrared, multispectral) overlaid onto what you actually see. Tested in over a dozen field trials with the Finnish army. Driving armored vehicles in arctic conditions in the middle of the night with full 3D perception. The field operator headset effectively allows soldiers to see through smoke, and with extra cameras even behind walls. Some of what they showed us had never been shown publicly before.  And there's more cooking under the hood they couldn't share yet. Two years in. Moving at the speed of light. Welcome to Europe!

Bigger, faster, more stable. We just unveiled our new Rollo Robotics autonomous security robot at Latitude59. Designed, engineered, and manufactured end to end in Estonia to create an autonomous labor workforce for the real world. We're one of the very few companies in the world building a platform like this at this level of maturity. Our first deployment is coming up soon.
