Anyware Robotics
Anyware Robotics is a Fremont, California startup building deployable physical AI for industrial work. Its first product, Pixmo, is a mobile robot that drives into a shipping container or trailer and unloads boxes - up to about 1,000 cases per hour - using a force-sensing collaborative arm and an AI stack the company calls AnywareOS. Founded in 2023 by former UC Berkeley researchers and FANUC engineers, the company aims to take over the back-breaking jobs that warehouses can no longer reliably staff.
Robust.AI
Robust.AI builds collaborative mobile robots for warehouses and factories. Its flagship Carter robot pairs an AI-driven 'cognitive engine' with a force-sensitive handlebar so workers can grab it, push it, redirect it, and let it run autonomously the rest of the time. Founded in 2019 by a who's-who of robotics and AI - Rodney Brooks (iRobot, Rethink), Gary Marcus, Anthony Jules, Henrik Christensen, and Mohamed Amer - the company has raised about $42.5M and is rolling Carter into DHL Supply Chain sites across the Americas.
