- **Cortex (VLAM – Vision Language Action Model)**: The core AI brain that enables zero-shot adaptation across standard 6‑axis and humanoid robot arms. Handles picking, placing, sorting, and inspection without retraining or tuning.
- **Robotic Picking**: Autonomous pick‑and‑place with 98% first‑attempt success and peak speeds >650 UPH.
- **Putwall Automation**: Batch picking and sortation for high‑throughput fulfillment.
- **Return Handling**: Automated inspection, sorting, and routing of returned items.
- **Embodied AI for Humanoids**: Dexterity module for changing tasks and mixed‑SKU environments.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $140.78M (including $110M Series B led by Headline, closed ~May 2026)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Headline (lead Series B); customers include Daimler Truck, Material Bank, Ludwig Meister
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 50+ deployments across five continents
  - 500M+ real production picks processed
  - 99.9% uptime in live environments

  - Expansion into US market (offices in Ohio and Boston)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Zero‑shot adaptability**: No retraining or retooling required when SKU mix changes – works out of the box on new items.
- **Production‑proven VLAM**: Trained on millions of real‑world picks; works in brownfield sites, not just lab conditions.
- **High reliability**: 98% first‑attempt pick success, >99% uptime, minimal human intervention (1 intervention per ~53,000 picks).
- **Platform agnostic**: Supports standard 6‑axis and humanoid robot architectures.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale deployments globally, especially in the US and Europe.
- Continue advancing the Vision Language Action Model to handle increasingly complex manipulation tasks (e.g., humanoid dexterity).
- Deepen partnerships with major logistics and manufacturing players.
