About Corvus Robotics

Corvus Robotics provides an autonomous operations platform for large-scale supply chain environments, specifically targeting Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies. The firm specializes in automating inventory management within warehouses and distribution centers through a fleet of proprietary AI-powered drones. The company was founded in 2017 by Mohammed Kabir and Jackie Wu, who began building the first prototype in Kabir's MIT dorm room. Kabir, who was studying in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, leveraged his experience as a founder of the MIT Driverless program to develop the drone technology from scratch. In August 2026, Kabir, the original CTO, was appointed CEO, succeeding Wu, who stepped back for health reasons but remains on the board of directors. Corvus Robotics operates on a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, offering its technology as a subscription service. This approach allows clients to automate inventory processes without significant upfront capital investment. The system is designed to be "infrastructure-free," meaning it does not require Wi-Fi, localization markers, or lighting modifications to operate. Drones fly autonomously, often during off-hours, scanning pallet barcodes and collecting data. This data is then processed by the company's AI software platform, which identifies discrepancies and provides real-time visibility into inventory levels. The product line includes the Corvus One drone and specialized versions like the Corvus One for Cold Chain, engineered to operate in freezer environments down to -20°F. In 2026, the company also introduced Corvus Trident, an AI copilot that mounts on forklifts to capture pallet movement data throughout a facility. This technology has been deployed in over 300 devices across the US, Canada, and Mexico, with clients including Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits and Kroger. As of August 2026, Corvus Robotics has raised a total of $38 million in funding, following a $20 million round led by Catalyst Investors.
