Jackie Wu
Jackie Wu is the founder and CEO of Corvus Robotics, a company that builds fully autonomous drones that fly indoors and count warehouse inventory without beacons, GPS, Wi-Fi, or a human at the controls. A Northwestern-trained roboticist who spent time inside warehouses on four continents, he grew tired of watching people climb ladders with clipboards and barcode guns, and decided to teach a drone to do it instead. Corvus designs and manufactures its drones in California, went through Y Combinator, and raised a Series A in 2024 to push warehouses toward a lights-out future.
Corvus Robotics
Corvus Robotics builds fully autonomous indoor drones that count warehouse inventory without human operators or any added infrastructure. Its flagship system, Corvus One, flies through aisles using an onboard AI world model - no GPS, Wi-Fi, fiducial markers, or beacons required - scanning barcodes and pallets to deliver near real-time inventory visibility at claimed 99.9% accuracy. Founded in 2017 out of MIT and backed by Spero Ventures and S2G Ventures, the company targets the slow, manual, error-prone problem of physical inventory counts in distribution centers and production plants.
Vimaan
Vimaan is a Silicon Valley computer vision and AI company that gives warehouses a 100% accurate, real-time view of their inventory. Using cameras, sensors, and proprietary algorithms, Vimaan automates receiving, put-away, cycle counting, picking, order validation, and shipping for 3PLs, brands, and retailers.
