Reach's technology could give rise to swarm robotics, high-power body implants and renewable energy farms...

... industrial-scale wireless power-at-a-distance hits the market in a real, deployable way...

Wireless transmission would complete the next generation electrification circle, and the Air Force has tapped the California company Reach Labs for that task.

"...companies like Reach Labs...are making headway in employing power beaming to solve the thorny problem of keeping batteries for robots and sensors, in warehouses and elsewhere, topped off and ready to go."

Reach Labs has raised $9 million in funding for its long-range wireless charging technology. DCVC (Data Collective) led the investment, with participation from Y Combinator and other investors.
