Infios Is Betting Your Warehouse Is Only One-Third of the Problem
Infios is stitching order, warehouse and transportation software into one execution layer. For operators, the pitch is less dashboard, fewer handoffs - and no mandatory rip-and-replace.
The Factory Floor's Babel Problem - and Botsync's Plan to Make Every Robot Talk
Factories rarely suffer from a shortage of machines. They suffer from machines that cannot coordinate. Botsync is building the traffic controller - and some of the traffic - for the industrial floor.
Teradyne
Most people never see a Teradyne machine, yet its testers stand between ambitious chip designs and the devices we trust. Now the 66-year-old Massachusetts company is applying the same factory-floor discipline to AI hardware, advanced packaging and robots that work beside people.
Saurabh Chandra
Saurabh Chandra is the co-founder and CEO of Ati Motors (Ati Robotics), a Bengaluru-born maker of autonomous mobile robots for factory and warehouse material movement. A mechanical engineer from IIT (BHU) Varanasi who earlier built and sold the IT services firm Neev to Razorfish, he started Ati in 2017 to bring self-driving-car style autonomy to the factory floor. His Sherpa robots now move trolleys, bins and pallets for customers including Airbus, Hyundai, Samsung and TVS Motor, and in January 2025 the company raised a $20M Series B to expand into North America.
XSQUARE Technologies
XSQUARE Technologies is a Singapore-based intralogistics company that builds autonomous forklifts and the Xymphony warehouse orchestration software to automate warehouses without requiring reconfiguration. Founded in 2019 and backed by Goldbell Group's four decades of material-handling expertise, XSQUARE pairs its own line of AGVs with an AI-driven control layer, offered largely through a Robots-as-a-Service subscription model. Its clients include Coca-Cola, GSK and Katoen Natie, and it raised S$10.5 million in Series A funding in May 2024 led by Wavemaker Partners.
Ati Motors
Ati Motors is an industrial robotics company building autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that move material inside and around factories. Its Sherpa family of self-driving robots uses 3D lidar, high-precision mapping and AI - the same principles behind self-driving cars - to tug, lift and transport loads from about 500 kg to 4,600 kg without the magnetic tape or fixed guide-paths of older AGVs. Founded in Bengaluru in 2017 and now dual-headquartered with a North American base near Detroit, Ati has deployed robots at 50-70+ manufacturing plants worldwide - including Fortune 500 names such as Hyundai, Bosch, Forvia, Daimler and Airbus - logging over 500,000 autonomous kilometers. The company raised a $20M Series B in early 2025 to expand across North America and APAC.
GreyOrange
GreyOrange is a warehouse-automation company that builds AI software and mobile robots to run fulfillment operations for retailers, distributors and 3PLs. Its GreyMatter fulfillment operating system continuously optimizes decisions across a distribution center, orchestrating fleets of Ranger mobile robots, people and existing equipment to move goods, pick orders and manage inventory. Founded in India in 2011 and now headquartered in Atlanta, the company sells its technology outright or as a monthly robotics-as-a-service subscription, and has raised more than half a billion dollars from investors including Mithril Capital, Tiger Global and Blackstone-adjacent funds.
Hippo Harvest
Hippo Harvest is a California controlled-environment agriculture company that grows USDA-certified organic leafy greens inside greenhouses run by warehouse-style robots and machine learning. Founded by two veterans of the ROS robotics world, it repurposes Amazon-fulfillment-style autonomous mobile robots as 'tractors' that deliver water and nutrients plant-by-plant, claiming greens grown with roughly 92% less water, 55% less fertilizer and 94% less land than field agriculture - at prices meant to match outdoor-grown produce.
Mark Messina
Mark Messina is Managing Director and CEO of ANSCER Robotics Americas, the U.S. arm of a Bengaluru-based hybrid autonomous mobile robot company. With more than 25 years across engineering, manufacturing and operations, he helped build the modern warehouse-robot industry from the inside - joining Amazon during the Kiva Systems acquisition, later working on Amazon Prime Air drones, IoT at Mattel, and leading U.S. expansions for Geek+ and Addverb. He now runs ANSCER's Austin, Texas headquarters, championing a frugal, ROI-first approach to robotics and a Robots-as-a-Service model built to put automation within reach of small operators.
ANSCER Robotics
ANSCER Robotics is a Bengaluru-based industrial automation company that builds hybrid autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) blending the smart navigation of AMRs with the heavy-lift precision of automated guided vehicles. Its robots and fleet-management software move materials inside factories, warehouses and dock areas, sold partly on a Robots-as-a-Service model. After a $5.4M Series A in 2026 led by IAN Alpha Fund, the company is expanding from India and Southeast Asia into North America.
Anthony Jules
Anthony Jules is the Co-founder and CEO of Robust.AI, a San Carlos, California company building AI-powered collaborative robots for warehouse and logistics operations. A 30-year technology veteran originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Jules began coding at age 11, earned degrees in Computer Science from MIT, and helped scale Sapient Corporation from 3 to 4,000 employees. After co-founding Redwood Robotics (acquired by Google), he led robotics product programs at Google X's Everyday Robot project, then co-founded Robust.AI in 2019 alongside robotics legend Rodney Brooks. The company's Carter robot - which uses eight cameras and no lidar - achieved a 60% productivity increase at DHL Supply Chain on day one, and recently partnered with Foxconn for manufacturing scale-up.
