Corvus Robotics, founded in 2017 and backed by Y Combinator (S18), develops fully autonomous drone systems for inventory management. The company's technology operates without added infrastructure or human intervention, using AI and computer vision to perform inventory scans. Its primary product, Corvus One, is a drone-based system designed for this purpose, while Corvus Trident serves as an AI copilot for forklifts and material handling equipment.
The company serves supply chain, warehousing, manufacturing, and cold chain logistics sectors. A notable capability is its cold chain solutions, which function in extreme freezer environments down to -20°F. Corvus Robotics has raised $18 million in Series A funding and counts Fortune 500 operations among its customers, including Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, GNC, Dermalogica, MSI Surfaces, and ASICS. The company operates within the United States.
Technical work at Corvus Robotics spans autonomous drones, AI, computer vision, and cold chain solutions. The engineering challenges involve developing perception systems that navigate warehouses autonomously, building AI models for inventory recognition, and designing hardware and software resilient to harsh environmental conditions.
