Osaro

Osaro is a robotic intelligence company founded in 2015 in San Francisco that has raised $27M to develop deep reinforcement learning software that enables industrial robots to handle unstructured, variable items in manufacturing and logistics environments. The company provides AI models and software that can be deployed on standard industrial robot arms from vendors including Fanuc and Yaskawa, adding intelligent perception and grasping capabilities to robots that would otherwise require custom programming for each task. Osaro's technology enables robots to handle diverse products in e-commerce packing and picking, food product handling including sandwiches and burritos for food service manufacturing, and other variable-item automation. The food manufacturing application is particularly distinctive as Osaro has deployed systems that handle deformable food items in high-hygiene environments — a category that traditional industrial automation struggles to address. The company has built partnerships with systems integrators who deploy Osaro's AI software as part of broader automation solutions. Osaro's software-first model allows faster deployment and continuous improvement as models learn from operational data across deployments.
