SWARM Biotactics, a Kassel-based startup, secured €10M in Seed funding, raising its total to €13M. This investment came from international investors, demonstrating strong interest in its bio-robotic technology that utilizes living insects, such as cockroaches, equipped with custom backpacks for communication and navigation. Founded in 2024, SWARM aims to redefine robotics in high-risk environments where traditional machines fail, promising operational advantages amid geopolitical challenges. CEO Stefan Wilhelm emphasizes the potential of their AI-enabled systems in achieving vital intelligence in inaccessible areas.
We're entering a decade where access, autonomy, and resilience define geopolitical advantage. Conventional systems fail where control is needed most-denied zones, collapsed infrastructure, and politically complex terrain.
SWARM is the first company building an entirely new category of robotics: biologically integrated, AI-enabled, and mass-deployable systems for persistent intelligence in places no drone or ground robot can reach.
