What rises next.
Fifteen technologies on the horizon, explained plainly: what each one is, when it arrives, and what it changes for you. Reinnder Labs works on several of them.
Now
2026 to 2027
Ready to deploy. Most organisations can use these this year.
-
AI agents at work
AI systems that carry out multi-step tasks across software: reading a request, checking stock, raising an order and reporting back.
Why it matters to you
Routine work such as scheduling, ordering and reporting starts to run itself, with a person approving the decisions that matter.
Reinnder AI Reinnder Mind runs maintenance and ordering agents in live plants today.
-
AI on the device
Models small and efficient enough to run on cameras, machines and phones instead of a distant data centre.
Why it matters to you
Decisions get faster, data stays private, and systems keep working when the connection drops.
Reinnder Silicon Edge One runs sixteen vision streams on less power than a desk lamp.
-
Robots that work beside people
Collaborative and mobile robots that sense people around them and share the same floor, without cages.
Why it matters to you
Smaller factories and warehouses can automate one task at a time instead of rebuilding the whole site.
Reinnder Robotics Cell Kit commissions a collaborative cell in under a week.
-
Digital twins
Live virtual copies of buildings, plants and networks, kept in step with the real thing by sensors.
Why it matters to you
You can test a change, a new layout or a failure on the copy before it costs anything in the real world.
Reinnder Cloud & Software Twin streams live data into 3D models of ports, plants and hospitals.
-
Precision farming from the air
Drones and satellites that map crop health plant by plant, then spray or water only where it is needed.
Why it matters to you
Farms spend less on chemicals, water and fuel, and grow more on the same land.
Reinnder Agritech Swift A4 maps and sprays in a single flight plan.
Next
2028 to 2030
Leaving the lab. Pilots today, mainstream within five years.
-
General-purpose humanoid robots
Robots built in a human shape, able to use the same tools, shelves and doors as people, and to learn new tasks from demonstration.
Why it matters to you
They can take on heavy, repetitive work in spaces designed for humans, without redesigning the building around them.
Reinnder Labs Project Meridian is developing robot hands that learn from a few demonstrations.
-
Solid-state batteries
Batteries that replace the flammable liquid inside today’s cells with a solid material.
Why it matters to you
Electric vehicles that charge faster and go further, and storage that is safer in homes and hospitals.
Reinnder Energy Project Tide is testing solid-state chemistries for grid storage.
-
Satellite straight to your phone
Satellites that connect directly to ordinary phones and sensors, with no dish or tower in between.
Why it matters to you
Coverage reaches every road, farm and coastline, including places no network has ever reached.
Reinnder Networks & Space Sky Link already backhauls remote sites over low-orbit satellites.
-
AI in diagnosis and drug discovery
Models that help find promising medicines faster and spot disease earlier in scans and lab results.
Why it matters to you
Treatments could reach patients sooner, and illness could be caught while it is easier to treat.
Reinnder Health Scan Assist helps radiologists prioritise urgent studies.
-
Self-driving construction machines
Excavators, dozers and rollers that follow the digital design on their own, supervised by an operator.
Why it matters to you
Safer sites, earthworks that run through the night, and roads built closer to the design.
Reinnder Build Reinnder Build retrofits guidance and remote-operation kits today.
Far horizon
2031 and beyond
Early science. Worth understanding now, because it will change the plan.
-
Chips that think like neurons
Processors that compute with spikes and events, the way a brain does, instead of a ticking clock.
Why it matters to you
AI that runs on a tiny fraction of today’s energy, in sensors that last for years.
Reinnder Labs Project Lumen has prototype event-based vision silicon.
-
Quantum sensing
Sensors that use quantum effects to measure time, motion and magnetic fields with extreme precision.
Why it matters to you
Navigation that works without GPS, and new kinds of medical and underground imaging.
Reinnder Labs Reinnder Labs is studying quantum magnetometers for infrastructure inspection.
-
6G networks
The next generation of mobile networks, expected to sense their surroundings as well as carry data.
Why it matters to you
Networks that can map a room, guide a robot or monitor a crossing as part of normal service.
Reinnder Networks & Space Reinnder Networks takes part in early 6G research partnerships.
-
Fusion power
Power from fusing light atoms, the process that powers the sun. Several pilot plants aim to show net electricity in the 2030s.
Why it matters to you
If it succeeds, abundant clean electricity with very little long-lived waste.
Reinnder Energy Grid Brain is built to integrate new firm clean power as it arrives.
-
Brain–computer interfaces
Medical devices that read signals from the brain to control a computer, a cursor or a voice.
Why it matters to you
People who have lost movement or speech could communicate and work again.
Reinnder Health Reinnder Health follows this field for future device engineering work.
