Acuity Robotics is a UK-based technology company revolutionising infrastructure inspection through advanced robotics and data analytics. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Leeds, Acuity has developed “Squirrel,” one of the world’s smallest untethered climbing robots. Using magnetic adhesion and sophisticated sensor suites—including high-resolution cameras and EMAT sensors—Squirrel gathers critical structural data from hard-to-reach metallic assets, reducing inspection risks and costs.

The data collected provides clients with predictive maintenance insights that extend asset lifespans and optimise operational budgets. Acuity targets large, underserved markets including telecommunications, transportation, and renewable energy, with notable partnerships established with BT, CU Phosco, and Glacier Energy.

Led by a team of seasoned experts—Professor Robert Richardson (Founder & Chief Innovation Officer), Jason Liu (Chief Technology Officer), and Alan Lowdon (Non-Exec Chair)—Acuity has attracted backing from Deepbridge and Innovate UK. The company was recently recognised in the UKII Intelligence Report 2024 for its innovation leadership.

With strong early traction, a scalable business model, and expanding market demand for safer, data-driven infrastructure solutions, Acuity Robotics offers investors a high-potential opportunity at the intersection of robotics, AI, and critical asset management.
