Based in Mountain View, California, Corvus Robotics develops autonomous indoor drones that scan and track inventory to enable fully automated warehouse management. The company operates on a robotics-as-a-service business model, utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide end-to-end supply chain visibility from receiving docks to outbound shipping facilities. Operating with an estimated 21 to 40 employees, the enterprise addresses critical industry challenges such as labor shortages and inaccurate data tracking across complex factory environments. To scale the production of its drone data services amid global supply chain shocks, the startup has secured $8 million in total financing. This capital includes a $5 million seed funding round led by Spero Ventures, alongside strategic investments from notable backers like Y Combinator and S2G Ventures. Corvus Robotics was founded in 2017 by Jackie Wu, Mohammed Kabir, Jonathan Sandau, and Bryan Monti.
Corvus Robotics has raised $23.0M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $18.0M Series A in October 2024.

Corvus Robotics develops autonomous drones designed to revolutionize warehouse inventory management by enabling continuous, precise, and efficient scanning of inventory in large, complex warehouse environments. Their flagship product, the Corvus One drone, operates fully autonomously without the need for GPS, Wi-Fi, or additional infrastructure, scanning barcodes and mapping inventory 24/7 even in low-light or GPS-denied conditions. This technology serves distributors, manufacturers, grocers, and logistics providers, helping them reduce labor costs, increase inventory accuracy, and accelerate cycle counts from biannual to weekly or more frequent audits, thereby significantly improving operational efficiency[1][2][3].
Founded by Mohammed Kabir, a 2021 MIT graduate, Corvus Robotics emerged from the challenge of lost or misplaced inventory in warehouses, a widespread problem impacting supply chain speed and accuracy. Kabir and his team developed drones capable of navigating complex warehouse spaces autonomously, using embodied AI combining neural networks, computer vision, and spatial reasoning. Early traction came from deploying their drones in large warehouses, demonstrating rapid setup (about a week for a million-square-foot facility) and immediate operational benefits, which helped validate the product-market fit[1][4].
Corvus Robotics rides the wave of increasing warehouse automation driven by supply chain complexity, labor shortages, and the push for real-time inventory visibility. The timing is critical as reshoring and nearshoring trends in manufacturing increase demand for efficient, scalable inventory management solutions. Their technology addresses the limitations of manual and semi-automated inventory processes by providing continuous, accurate data that supports faster decision-making and operational resilience. By enabling "lights-out" warehouses that operate 24/7 without human intervention, Corvus is influencing the broader ecosystem toward fully autonomous supply chain operations and digital transformation[1][5][7].
Looking ahead, Corvus Robotics is poised to expand adoption across more industries and warehouse types, leveraging advances in AI and sensor technology to enhance drone capabilities further. Trends such as increased e-commerce demand, labor cost pressures, and supply chain digitization will continue to drive growth. Corvus’s influence may evolve from a niche robotics provider to a foundational technology partner in autonomous warehouse ecosystems, potentially integrating with broader logistics and fulfillment automation platforms. Their continued innovation in embodied AI and infrastructure-free deployment positions them well to lead the next generation of warehouse automation[2][5][6].
Corvus Robotics exemplifies how autonomous drones can transform inventory management from a periodic, labor-intensive task into a continuous, intelligent process, unlocking new efficiencies and operational insights for warehouses worldwide.
