London, UK - EverSphere has announced a breakthrough in disaster-response automation with the deployment of its Robotics field units. These autonomous systems are engineered to enter disaster zones within hours of impact, coordinating large-scale clean-up and infrastructure repair with unmatched efficiency.
The units integrate EverSphere’s Kai optimisation core for logistics, VectorGrid for supply chain routing, and TerraCast for climate-driven hazard forecasting, allowing them to operate as self-organising teams in volatile and unpredictable environments.
"Every hour lost after a disaster costs lives and livelihoods," said Marcus Knox, Founder and CEO of EverSphere. "Our robotics platform eliminates delays by deploying fleets that think, coordinate, and act together — restoring critical infrastructure faster than ever before."
Key capabilities demonstrated during field trials include:
- Autonomous debris clearance using swarm coordination, enabling roads to reopen within hours.
- Rapid infrastructure triage, with AI-directed units prioritising repairs to hospitals, water systems, and power grids.
- Safe human-machine collaboration, with robots designed to work alongside first responders rather than replace them.
In recent pilot deployments, Robotics units restored electricity to 70% of affected households within 48 hours, and reopened major transport arteries in half the time of conventional methods.
The system has already been trialled with national meteorological agencies and energy grid operators, where its forecasts have directly improved renewable energy output balancing and grid resilience during periods of rapid weather fluctuation.
EverSphere’s Director of Ethics and Assurance, Dr Abigail Shaw, underscored the platform’s guiding principles:
"Disaster response is not just about speed, it’s about trust. These units were built with strict oversight and red-teaming to ensure their actions prioritise human safety and dignity above all else."
Robotics units are now being integrated into international disaster-relief frameworks, with partnerships spanning humanitarian agencies, infrastructure ministries, and energy providers. Beyond emergencies, the same technology is being evaluated for climate adaptation projects, including flood defences and wildfire mitigation.
For Knox, the significance extends beyond any single event:
"This isn’t about machines replacing humans. It’s about machines taking the risk so humans can recover faster. Robotics is the future of resilience."
