About the company

OSARO develops AI-powered software that augments industrial robots, licensing its technology to robot manufacturers and integrators. It focuses on enabling automation for complex tasks such as automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) and robotic bagging by embedding machine learning and advanced vision systems into existing robotic platforms. The software works by integrating with existing robots to enhance perception, decision-making, and control, enabling smarter handling, sorting, and manipulation tasks. OSARO differentiates itself through strategic partnerships with global industry players like Denso and IHI (a GE subcontractor) and by offering a licensing-based model that adds advanced intelligence to existing robotics ecosystems, rather than building standalone hardware. Its goal is to increase productivity and efficiency across warehousing and manufacturing sectors and to become a leading supplier of AI-driven automation solutions in the global market.
