@mavenrobotics emerged from stealth with $100M to build mixed-palletizing robots for distribution centers
8 robots running 16 hours/day at 99%+ uptime. Wheeled bases at 10 mph, dual arms lifting up to 30 kg
In 2024 they had nothing but "a cartoon of a robot." Won the deal against 4 competitors with working robots by visiting the customer's factories first.
Palletizing alone is an $80B market!
