Flox Robotics

Flox Robotics is a Swedish wildlife science and technology company that provides autonomous solutions to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts. The company was founded in 2020 by CEO Sara Nozkova and Tomas Becklin as a spin-off from AI research at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The founders, described as having passions for both technology and nature, were driven by the increasing conflicts arising from shrinking wildlife habitats and human expansion.

The firm develops and deploys AI-powered systems designed to deter wildlife from areas where they pose a risk, such as airports, railways, farms, and forests. The core of its offering is a wildlife intelligence platform that uses proprietary edge sensors to detect animals, decode their behavior in real-time, and deploy species-specific, adaptive bioacoustics to guide them away without harm. This technology serves as a modern-day, AI-driven scarecrow and an alternative to physical fences or lethal methods. The system includes both mobile drone-based units (FLOXdrone) and stationary devices (FLOXFixed), which are connected to a cloud-based platform for monitoring and control.

Flox Robotics operates on a B2B model, serving clients across aviation, transportation, agriculture, forestry, and public space management. Customers include airport operators like Swedavia, the Swedish Transport Administration, and various agricultural and forestry companies. In August 2025, the company announced the closing of an oversubscribed $1 million seed funding round led by Unconventional Ventures, with participation from Norrsken Accelerate, Almi Invest, E14 Invest, and Argand Partners, to fuel commercialization and international expansion, particularly into the U.S. market.
