## About

Founded in 2019 and based in Virginia, US, Applied Impact Robotics develops robotic solutions used in inspecting Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs). The company was formed after winning the Chrysalix PETRONAS Incentive Challenge and co-founded by Jade Garrett. Mr. Fred Briggs serves as the president and the CEO of Applied Impact Robotics. In September 2026, Applied Impact Robotics raised USD 1.5 million in venture funding from Cottonwood Technology Fund.

The company's product is a robotic solution that inspects crude oil tanks and Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) to reduce the viscosity of sludge and sediment. The robotic solution utilizes pneumatic vibration to navigate and operate in a variety of sludge conditions. It also allows the tank to continue its normal operations and does not require any human intervention.

The company's revenue is generated by the services acquired by different businesses that use crude oil tanks and Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs).

The company will use the September 2026 funding to support the next phase of growth and commercialization of robotic oil tank inspection technology.
