Company patents
Sarcos Corp.
Sarcos Corp. demonstrates a surprising diversification beyond its core "Manipulators & Robotics" (57.5% of portfolio) into "Photovoltaic (Solar Cells)," which saw a 40.0% YoY growth in 2025, and a significant emerging focus on "Image Processing," which grew by 300.0% YoY in 2025. This indicates a strategic shift towards integrating advanced vision systems and exploring renewable energy applications, while categories like "Aircraft & Aerodynamics" and "Aircraft Equipment" have seen a complete cessation of patenting activity since 2023, suggesting a clear deprioritization of aerospace-related innovations.
