About

Grip is a physical AI company building intelligent robotic systems for waste and recycling. Its technology combines learning-based manipulation and custom hardware to identify and pick objects from messy, constantly changing waste streams. By learning from real-world operating data, including every successful and failed grasp, Grip’s systems become more reliable and adaptable over time. The goal is to help waste operators reduce difficult manual sorting, recover more valuable material, lower contamination, and deploy automation more flexibly across different facilities and waste streams. Ultimately, Grip is building the intelligent manipulation layer for waste infrastructure, making recycling and the circular economy more efficient and scalable.
