What Rollo Robotics does

Rollo Robotics OÜ is an Estonian deep-tech startup founded in 2025 by Arno Kütt (creator of Cleveron) and Sander Sebastian Agur. The company is developing 1ROLLO, described as the world's first stable autonomous monowheel security robot, which uses proprietary gyroscopic stabilization technology and high-frequency sensor fusion to solve what the company calls the 'stability paradox' of single-wheel autonomous motion. The platform integrates a 360° vision system, RTK/GNSS positioning, 4G/5G/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity, IP65-rated hardware rated for -20°C to +55°C operation, up to 8 hours of battery life with autonomous wireless charging, and a modular payload architecture supporting thermal cameras, PTZ cameras, night vision, RFID, and custom sensors.

The company is building an end-to-end physical AI architecture supported by a reinforcement learning layer for onboard perception and multi-robot coordination. It operates a centralized cloud fleet management platform for defining patrol routes and monitoring robot performance, and is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program.

Rollo Robotics' business model is a hardware-led enterprise motion: the company sells (or will sell, from 2027) the 1ROLLO robot unit alongside modular payload add-ons, supported by recurring services through fleet management, software updates, and support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; sales run through a consultative direct enterprise motion with a quote-request form targeting critical infrastructure operators, defence and military organizations, industrial/logistics operators, and corporate/university campuses. The company is pre-revenue, currently in advanced R&D and pilot phase, and is supported by €3.7M in pre-seed funding (January 2026) plus €1.53M in EU NextGenerationEU co-funding.
