Corvus Robotics is building lights-out inventory drones around warehouse visibility

MIT News profiled Corvus Robotics on December 20, 2024 as a warehouse inventory drone company using autonomous flight to track pallets in GPS-denied facilities. The profile said Corvus One scans barcodes, records product locations, and can operate in lights-off warehouse conditions.

Corvus was founded by Mohammed Kabir, an MIT alumnus whose company is built around one of the least glamorous but most expensive warehouse problems: physical inventory drift. Warehouse systems know what should be in a location. Operators need to know what is actually there, whether a pallet moved, whether a barcode is blocked, and whether order execution depends on a record that is already stale.

MIT News described Corvus One as an autonomous warehouse inventory drone with 14 cameras and AI navigation, designed to operate indoors without GPS.

Corvus identifies Staci Americas as a customer using its drones for lights-out inventory checks.
