Fernride

At FERNRIDE, we believe in a future where robotics unlocks human potential to create a better world. Yet today, humans still perform repetitive, risky tasks to keep our world running. These jobs, essential yet unattractive, should be performed by robots, which still fall short. We are on a mission to change that and transform critical industries through human-centric automation. FERNRIDE delivers a comprehensive ground autonomy platform to offer scalable automation solutions across industries. They span from container terminals and yard operations via defence logistics to open-road trucking. By combining AI-powered autonomy with human oversight and modular, vehicle-agnostic hardware, we enable businesses and defence organizations to harness the full potential of automation, driving efficiency and safety. FERNRIDE was founded in 2019 following 10 years of research at the Technical University of Munich and currently has over 150 employees. We are setting the standard for autonomous logistics and advancing Europe’s technological sovereignty by delivering the first-ever fully certified autonomous trucking system in Europe in 2025. Physical AI is the biggest transformational technology of our time. Backed by €75 million in venture funding from top-tier investors and trusted by blue chip customers, such as HHLA, Volkswagen, and DB Schenker, we are on a mission to build Europe’s leader in Physical AI, on track to lead the world in next-generation industrial automation.
