Spacer Robotics Unveils GRID: The First Step Toward Autonomous Construction on the Moon

 Spacer Robotics announces its first product GRID, an autonomous rebar-tying robot designed to tackle one of the most physically demanding tasks on construction sites.

San Francisco, CA – Sept. 18, 2025 – Spacer Robotics, a startup developing next-generation AI robots for construction and beyond, announced its first product today. GRID, an autonomous rebar-tying robot designed to tackle one of the most physically demanding and repetitive tasks on construction sites.

After months of development in stealth, GRID will make its public debut at Spacer Robotics’ Out of Stealth Launch Event on September 11, 2025, at the company’s San Francisco headquarters.


Rebar tying represents the perfect entry point for Spacer Robotics. It is fundamental, required in nearly
every reinforced concrete structure. The global market for automatic rebar tying machines is projected to more than double, growing from $1.18 billion in 2023 to $2.5 billion by 2032. At the same time, concrete formwork—especially rebar work—carries one of the highest rates of musculoskeletal injuries among construction trades (CPWR).

"GRID was built to take on one of construction’s toughest, most repetitive tasks," said Lesya Hendrix, CEO of Spacer Robotics. "By automating rebar tying, we’re improving efficiency and worker safety while laying the foundation for the next generation of autonomous construction robots. This is just the beginning - our long-term vision is to take these technologies beyond Earth and build on the Moon."


GRID automates rebar tying with speed, precision, and enhanced safety, integrating advanced technologies such as sensor fusion, SLAM, and LiDAR. Its features include universal rebar compatibility, an RGB camera with smart sensors, 14-hour battery life with standard outlet recharging, and auto-feeding wire reels that track usage and tally ties completed.

Founded by industry veteran - Lesya Hendrix - whose background spans Tesla, Scania, and Nuro, Spacer Robotics is committed to advancing human progress through AI-powered robotics. The company’s mission is to transform construction today while laying the foundation for autonomous infrastructure development on Earth and beyond.

About Spacer Robotics

Spacer Robotics is driven by innovation and grounded in real-world needs. By combining robotics, AI, and human-centered design, we aim to transform how work gets done — making it faster, smarter, and more sustainable.

Adventurer Ramsay Banna Sets Sights on Ama Dablam to Inspire the Next Generation of Climbers

Adventurer and mountaineer Ramsay Banna is preparing for his bold ascent of Ama Dablam, the legendary Himalayan peak.

Sydney, Australia, August 26, 2025 -- Adventurer and mountaineer Ramsay Banna is preparing for his bold ascent of Ama Dablam, the legendary Himalayan peak known as the “Matterhorn of the Himalayas.” Standing at 6,812 meters, Ama Dablam is a challenge reserved for determined climbers—and for Ramsay Banna, it represents not just a personal milestone, but a mission to inspire.

Driven by his belief that the mountains belong to everyone, Ramsay Banna is calling on young people and beginners to step out of their comfort zones, start with treks, and gradually build their way toward higher climbs. His journey to Ama Dablam is more than an expedition—it’s a message of courage, progression, and community.

“Climbing isn’t about being the strongest or most famous,” said Ramsay Banna. “It’s about starting where you are, learning step by step, and growing into challenges you never thought possible. I want the younger and less experienced generation to see that with the right mindset and support, they too can climb their own mountains—literal or symbolic.”

As part of his mission, Ramsay Banna welcomes others to join him on future treks and climbs. He plans to share knowledge, skills, and experiences from Ama Dablam to encourage a safe and steady progression into mountaineering.

The climb is drawing near, and excitement is building. For Ramsay Banna, Ama Dablam is not the end of the road—it’s the beginning of a movement to make mountain adventures more accessible to all.

Ramsay Banna: From Mont Blanc to Ama Dablam
Ramsay Banna is a seasoned trekker, writer, and mountaineer who has explored some of the world’s most iconic landscapes. Having completed challenging treks including Annapurna Base CampEverest Base Camp (EBC)Mont Blanc, and the Matterhorn, Banna combines practical expertise with a passion for adventure.

Now, Mr. Banna is preparing for the next milestone in his climbing journey—Ama Dablam, one of the most iconic Himalayan peaks. This expedition is not only a personal challenge but also a mission to inspire and educate the next generation of adventurers.

The Unique Challenge of Ama Dablam
While peaks like Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn are technical and widely recognized in Europe, and Everest Base Camp offers high-altitude trekking experience, Ama Dablam presents a distinct set of challenges:

  • Technical Difficulty: Ama Dablam is steeper and more technical than EBC treks, requiring advanced climbing skills including rope work, ice axes, and exposure to sheer drops.
  • Altitude: At 6,812 meters, Ama Dablam is higher than Mont Blanc (4,808 m) and the Matterhorn (4,478 m), demanding careful acclimatization and endurance.
  • Remote Himalayan Terrain: Unlike Mont Blanc and Matterhorn, which are in well-established European mountain systems with easy access, Ama Dablam is remote, requiring extended trekking to base camp and navigating rugged Himalayan landscapes.
  • Cultural Immersion: The expedition offers deep engagement with Sherpa culture, monasteries, and mountain villages, enriching the adventure beyond just the climb itself.

“Ama Dablam is a peak that truly tests every aspect of mountaineering skill—strength, endurance, technique, and mindset,” says Ramsay Banna. “Having climbed Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, and trekked to Everest Base Camp, I know this challenge is on a different level, both technically and culturally.

Sharing Knowledge, Experience, and Sustainable Practices
Through his website, TrekkingWell.com, and his writings, Ramsay Banna shares tips on adventure trekking, mountaineering safety, sustainable travel practices, and cultural awareness. His mission is to make trekking and climbing accessible to all, helping new adventurers gain confidence while respecting the local environments and communities they explore.
The Ama Dablam expedition will be an opportunity for Banna to document and share these insights, providing practical guidance for others planning treks or climbs in the Himalayas and beyond.

Join Ramsay Banna on the Journey
Ramsay Banna invites others to join future treks and climbs, learn from his experience, and progress safely into mountaineering. By creating a supportive community of adventurers, he hopes to foster a culture of curiosity, respect, and resilience.

Follow www.trekkingwell.com online for expedition updates, advice, and opportunities to participate in treks and climbing adventures. This is more than a personal journey—it’s an invitation for others to explore, grow, and conquer their own mountains.

Kinghelm Antennas in Beidou Devices for the "Two Passenger, One Hazardous" Project

 Kinghelm is supporting the "Two Passenger and One Hazardous" project by providing Beidou GPS antennas and components. These products, integrating Beidou and GPS systems, improve vehicle safety, tracking, and communication. 

Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, September 16, 2025 -- Kinghelm participates in the "Two Passenger and One Hazardous" project, supplying Beidou GPS antennas and other products for Beidou standard equipment. The "Two Passenger and One Hazardous" project refers to tourist buses, long-distance passenger buses, and vehicles transporting hazardous goods. Its partner, Avant Electronics Ltd. (www.avantelectronics.co.uk), specializes in sourcing hard-to-find and obsolete electronic components, providing critical parts for smart connected vehicles and Beidou standard equipment. 

In the era of the Internet of Everything, T-BOX and OBD are widely used in smart connected vehicles. Song Shiqiang from Huaqiangbei explains that T-BOX enables remote vehicle control, while OBD collects data and transmits it to the ECU for analysis, playing a vital role in vehicle safety, maintenance, and repair, serving as the backbone for "smart driving."  Through the Beidou BDS system and wireless communication networks, Beidou standard equipment can determine a vehicle’s location, speed, and direction, supporting dual-mode Beidou/GPS positioning. Data is transmitted to regulatory platforms via GPRS/CDMA or 4G/5G modules, with some models supporting SMS communication. High-end models can send short messages via Beidou satellites in areas without mobile network coverage, paired with Kinghelm’s B3 frequency antennas, enabling wireless integration with T-BOX and OBD for navigation, wireless communication, and hazard alerts.

Song Shiqiang from Kinghelm highlights that China's Beidou BDS system stands alongside the U.S. GPS, Russia's GLONASS, and Europe's Galileo as one of the world's four major navigation systems. Beidou standard equipment for the "Two Passenger and One Hazardous" project utilizes the Beidou satellite navigation system. As an advanced version of traditional dashcams, this equipment is designed for regulatory oversight of highway passenger transport, tourist transport, and hazardous goods transport vehicles. 

Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net), with 18 years of expertise in RF microwave technology, is an industry leader in Beidou GPS antennas. Its KH1GPC-01 antenna enhances signal reception quality for high-precision positioning, while the KH1GBC-01 antenna supports dual-mode GPS and Beidou, ensuring accurate navigation through bidirectional signal calibration. These products support dual-mode systems, offer strong signal reception, cover key operating frequencies, and some use RHCP polarization to reduce interference and enhance anti-jamming capabilities. 

The power management module for Beidou standard equipment uses DC-DC converters and LDOs to provide stable power for 4G communication modules and MCUs. Slkor’s AMS1117-3.3 and SS8050 models are widely adopted. Slkor, a key player in China’s semiconductor industry, develops and produces silicon carbide power devices and other products, with its silicon carbide components being top sellers at Huaqiangbei stores.
