Underground infrastructure installation is complex, disruptive, and often costly, especially in challenging soil conditions. At the 2026 Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Innovation Summit in San Diego, GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center showcased SPEEDWORM, a biologically inspired technology that uses pneumatic artificial muscles to move through soil and create reinforced tunnels for conduit and cable installation. Demonstrated by project leaders William Tan and Andrew Cross, the system shows how advanced robotics can reduce disruption, improve efficiency, and unlock new approaches to building the energy infrastructure needed for the future. #ARPAE #AdvancedResearch #EnergyInnovation #FutureOfEnergy
