Plus One Robotics provides AI-powered robotic systems for parcel sortation that handle diverse package types with a human-in-the-loop oversight model for handling exceptions.
Plus One Robotics is a San Antonio-based robotics company founded in 2016 that has raised $33M to automate parcel sortation in carrier and e-commerce fulfillment operations using AI with a unique human-in-the-loop architecture. The company's Yonder AI platform enables robots to pick and sort diverse parcels using computer vision and AI, while routing edge cases and difficult items to remote human supervisors who guide the robot through the exception with video game-style interfaces. This hybrid autonomy model allows systems to achieve higher uptime and handle more exception cases than fully autonomous systems, while requiring far fewer humans than manual operations. Plus One has deployed commercial systems at major parcel carriers and logistics operators and demonstrated significant cost advantages over manual parcel sortation. The company's remote human supervision capability allows a single supervisor to monitor and assist multiple robot cells simultaneously, creating a scalable model for managing the long tail of exception cases that all parcel sortation systems encounter. Plus One competes in the parcel handling automation market alongside Mujin, Vicarious, and cobot-based pick-and-place systems.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
