Warehouses can't hire
fast enough to pick
what we buy.

E-commerce doubled SKU velocity. Labor quit rates hit 60%. The bottleneck is the human hand.

The Breakthrough

Sub-100ms grasp planning on commodity compute.

  • ✓ Neural grasp planner trained on 2.4M picks
  • ✓ Runs on $600 edge GPU, no cloud latency
  • ✓ Handles novel objects, no SKU pre-training

Validation Data

3,800 picks across 12 SKU categories – cardboard, polybags, shrinkwrap, irregular shapes

Our Assets

  • 01 7 patents filed (grasp planning, collision)
  • 02 2.4M-pick proprietary dataset
  • 03 BOM cost: $22K at volume
  • 04 18-month manufacturing head start

Why Hard to Copy

  • → Patent fence blocks fast-follow
  • → Dataset took 14 months to collect
  • → Suppliers locked, MOQs negotiated
  • → Team knows the gotchas
