Canvas builds worker-operated robots that finish drywall on commercial construction sites. Its flagship machine, the 1200CX, sprays and sands joint compound to Level 4 and 5 finishes in roughly two days instead of five, has finished close to a million square feet to date, and was acquired in 2025 by JLG Industries (an Oshkosh Corporation company) to scale across interior construction.
Cobot (legally Collaborative Robotics) is a Santa Clara-based robotics company founded in 2022 by former Amazon Robotics VP Brad Porter. The company builds practical, non-humanoid collaborative robots - led by its first product, Proxie - that work alongside humans in warehouses, hospitals, and factories. Backed by over $140M from Sequoia, General Catalyst, Khosla, Lux, and Mayo Clinic, Cobot's bet is that the future of work is human-robot teams, not humanoids.
