Overview
Corvus Robotics builds autonomous inventory management systems for warehouses and distribution centers. Its flagship Corvus One product deploys infrastructure-free autonomous drones that navigate using computer vision and an AI world model to perform cycle counts, verify inventory accuracy, and scan barcodes without human operators. The company also offers Corvus Trident, an AI copilot mounted on forklifts to capture pallet movement.
Founded in 2017, Corvus serves 30+ enterprise customers including Southern Glazer's, Kroger, GNC, Dermalogica, ASICS, and Staci Americas across 300+ devices deployed in 26 US states plus Canada and Mexico. Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) business model.
