Corvus Robotics

Corvus Robotics provides a hardware-plus-software solution for warehouse inventory management through its drone system, Corvus One. Designed for fully autonomous operation, Corvus One drones are equipped with omnidirectional smart collision avoidance, and leverage embodied AI and computer vision to scan pallet labels, count cases, analyze cubic slot occupancy and track inventory in real time. They also navigate complex warehouse environments without the need for localization infrastructure like beacons, reflectors, stickers, or WiFi. The system integrates directly with existing warehouse management systems; drones collect data during each flight and automatically update the WMS upon completion. By training on an AI model of each facility, Corvus One enhances historical traceability and visibility, allowing users to access time-stamped pictures and videos of every storage location for auditing and tracking down misplaced pallets.

The company operates on a robots-as-a-service (RaaS) model, offering subscription-based services for the Corvus One autonomous inventory management system. The model includes drone installation and the ability to schedule automated flights. Corvus offers a quick and easy deployment process, with installations completed in less than a week. Clients benefit from ongoing hardware and software upgrades, ensuring that their systems stay up-to-date without additional costs. The pricing model allows customers to achieve a rapid return on investment—often within six months or less.

“Most warehouses rely on employees to manually scan barcodes,” says Jackie Wu, co-founder and CEO. “It’s a tedious and repetitive process that often requires lifts to reach high shelves and yields only 65% to 75% accuracy. Our RaaS model is a strategic choice to provide businesses with the latest scalable and flexible solutions that future-proof inventory management without extra costs. This approach enables our customers to achieve and maintain operational efficiency while realizing significant labor and material handling equipment (MHE) cost savings.”
