Robot model
Ottobot
Ottonomy (founded 2020 by chief executive Ritukar Vijay; US-based in Brooklyn with manufacturing in India) makes the Ottobot, a Level-4 autonomous four-wheeled delivery robot whose differentiator is customizable modular cabins, in an industrial Ottobot 2.0 and a narrower Ottobot 3.0 for tight spaces such as hospital elevators, operating in airports, hospitals, and curbside last-mile settings. The registry records it at commercial maturity at the low end: its strongest independently reported scale is roughly 2,000 deliveries with zero safety incidents at Cincinnati's CVG airport, alongside a deployment at Rome Fiumicino with investment from Aeroporti di Roma Ventures, and it remained active and expanding in 2026 with a Rio Tinto mining-village pilot with Sodexo in March 2026. A correction to the dispatch's question of whether Ottonomy sells robots: it does not, operating instead a robots-as-a-service leasing model at about $999 per robot per month on one-to-five-year contracts plus a software platform, making it a fixed-fee RaaS lessor rather than a hardware seller or a classic captive operator. Its commercial tier rests on paying RaaS customers and the independently reported CVG service, though much of its broader footprint is pilots and its scale claims are company-sourced. Its total funding is unverified with sources conflicting between about $4.9 million and $7.8 million, and figures such as 50 robots operating with 500 ordered and 200 deploying in 2026, a $5 million 2026 revenue target, a 14-city footprint, and the contextual-AI technical framing are company-sourced and not independently verified.
Ottobot is a sidewalk robot built by Ottonomy.

Supply chain
No verified supply relationships on file. Supply-chain coverage is being added across the registry; check back as the seed populates this model’s suppliers.
Suppliers appear here when verified with at least two strong sources (maker-official / IR / regulatory / standards-body / verified tier-2). Sources are append-only; corrections add new sources rather than rewrite history.
