Mission
We’re cutting carbon from infrastructure at scale by transforming how foundations are designed and delivered, making every project a catalyst for the energy transition.
Traditional concrete is slow, wasteful, and energy-intensive, consuming vast amounts of material, fuel, and logistics capacity. By reimagining how these foundations are created, we’re helping energy and infrastructure leaders deploy faster, reduce emissions by up to 70%, and conserve [X kWh placeholder] per installation.
Concrete may be the world’s second most-used material after water, but we’re proving it doesn’t have to be one of the most carbon-heavy. By cutting its energy and carbon footprint, we’re laying the groundwork for a sustainable energy ecosystem worldwide.

OUR STORY
From vision to impact: engineering the foundations of the energy transition
Hyperion Robotics was founded with a clear purpose – to transform how the world builds its foundations and accelerate the shift to a low-carbon energy future.
The founding team – Fernando De los Rios, Ashish Mohite, and Henry Unterreiner – united their backgrounds in finance, architecture, and structural engineering around a shared mission: to eliminate waste, reduce emissions, and modernise one of the world’s most carbon-intensive industries.
Since 2020, Hyperion Robotics has evolved from a bold idea into a trusted partner for major energy and infrastructure players. By combining automation, robotics, and sustainable materials, we’re enabling projects that are not only faster and safer, but also more energy- and carbon-efficient – laying the foundations for global net zero.
