Mobile robot workers for palletizing, depalletizing and case picking in factories and warehouses, rented by the hour or by the pick.
Tutor Intelligence builds mobile robots (Cassie for pallets and cases, Sonny for picking items from racking) and the AI models that run them. Its US customers range from family-owned manufacturers to Fortune 50 3PLs. Robots are priced by the hour or by the pick, from $14 an hour, with support, maintenance and model updates included on month-to-month terms; they can also be bought outright. On November 2, 2026 it announced a $75M Series B led by a16z, joined by Union Square Ventures and Neo.
a16z led the $75M Series B, per Tutor's own site and a16z, with Union Square Ventures and Neo; SiliconANGLE's report calls it a Series A. Tutor's warehouse and factory robots are sold on usage-based pricing.
Tutor Intelligence CEO Josh Gruenstein tells a16z's Martin Casado and Raghu Raghuram that robotics for factories and warehouses is a systems problem spanning AI, hardware, manufacturing and the work itself.
