Hi there! Glad you're here!

There is not enough space to share every amazing person that has helped me through my journey. I am grateful for people in my life that bring me new knowledge, silly interactions, heart-warming generosity, and spontaneous love. 

One constant source of inspiration has been my mother, both a loving parent and a powerful role model. "Always, no matter what, be kind, Sheyene," she'd say. When I was young it didn’t mean as much as it means now. Life has taught me that kindness is the cornerstone of everything worthwhile. And I believe that with all of my heart. 

Since my parents’ death, my work is focused on one goal: honoring my family's legacy! In my case, it is not so much on how I could turn our company into a company of global scale, but it also means extending positive values, unwavering beliefs, and to make a conscious efforts to create something greater than myself; a legacy that benefits future generations even after I am out of the picture myself. It’s deeply personal.

This belief has been the underlying basis for everything I’ve tried to do these past years… What has changed is the urgency for doing so at scale.


With gratitude,

Sheyene Gerardi

What's new

In-Situ Resource Utilization With Improved Autonomous Excavator 


Our ANT technology (a patent-pending innovation) has matured beyond the prototype stage with multiple machines successfully developed and commercially available. Our work also includes a teleoperation kit compatible with most late-model tractors. This kit enables seamless electronic control of steering, braking, throttle, facilitating real-world testing and development.


Alternatively, the Sheyene Institute always focuses on the aspect of space qualification of hardware and software developments when designing a new robot. During this project, we implemented these key modules with the aim of qualifying them further to reach the space readiness level. This work has reached an overall level of Technology Readiness Level 3, i. e., the state of a proof of concept. Our aim is to lift the modules to the stable state of TRL 6, which requires the modules to be tested in a relevant environment. We face the goal of implementing the latest developments to achieve a high performance for In-Situ testing in future space missions.

Robots in space - Science fiction? 

SHEYENE GERARDI REAL-LIFE SUPERPOWERS


She arrives looking as glossy as one might anticipate, in black and long blond hair neatly coiffed. She is slim, certainly, but not neurotically so. Instead, her body looks as healthy as her beautiful and animated face. In addition, Sheyene herself has a fascinating and inspiring background and commitment to benefit others. Her voice is soft, but she herself is straightforward, unpretentious and candid to an almost disarming degree. She is not lovely looking, but simply lovely, full stop.  


The former actress and robotics founder candidly shares the challenges she'd faced in her life and expounds upon her plans to take her robotic workforce to space.

Global City Innovation Accelerator

"Great mix of academics at the Global City Innovation Accelerator forum. It's always a pleasure and honor to be surrounded by such innovative thinkers & leaders from around the world as we look at the role of technology and innovation in the pandemic and in energizing economic recovery! The future is bright." Sheyene Gerardi

Q&A with Sheyene Gerardi

Q: What the world needs now is...

A: We have extensive scientific evidence that we’ve entered the Anthropocene. Today, if we look at climate science, biodiversity research, air pollution, or health related risks like pandemics, we have ample evidence that we are approaching potential irreversible changes in the life support systems on earth, and even in the stability of the entire  planet.


I believe that this is a moment to step up and work together, all people, whether we are scientists or not, experts, stakeholders, policymakers, civil society, business leaders, not only in observing and monitoring the pathways towards a sustainable future, but also using that information to shift to a new paradigm to find the solutions is really paramount.
