Company Description Snowbotix is advancing a future where robotics enhance human work rather than replace it, delivering safer, more efficient outdoor operations. The company’s modular, all-electric multi-utility robot platform handles snow removal, slope mowing, sweeping, and de-icing with zero emissions and a transparent, operations-focused cost model. Snowbotix supports municipal teams, contractors, and facilities managers who manage risk, safety, and uptime in challenging weather and outdoor conditions. Through a comprehensive Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, customers receive hardware, software, support, maintenance, 24/7 visibility, autonomous operation, and proof-of-service that strengthens liability protection and ESG performance. Guided by founder and robotics researcher Dr. Sasi Prabhakaran, the Snowbotix team brings together engineers, operators, and mission-driven problem solvers to create more sustainable and reliable outdoor infrastructure solutions.
