OSARO

OSARO is a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company specializing in the development and deployment of advanced robotic automation solutions for e-commerce, logistics, and manufacturing. Founded in 2015 by Derik Pridmore and Michael Kahane, the company leverages proprietary deep reinforcement learning technology to enable industrial robots to perceive, grasp, and manipulate a wide variety of objects, thereby streamlining complex tasks such as piece-picking, kitting, autobagging, and depalletization. [4, 5, 16] OSARO's innovations are grounded in rigorous science, validated by numerous patents and peer-reviewed publications. The company's core technology, OSARO SightWorks™ perception software, provides the foundation for its products, allowing robots to adapt to constantly changing inventory, diverse product types, and challenging grasping scenarios without reprogramming. [2, 21, 30] This capability is particularly crucial in high-volume fulfillment centers where efficiency, accuracy, and the ability to handle a high SKU inventory are paramount. [3, 4]

OSARO's solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing automated material handling systems, facilitating the transition from goods-to-person to goods-to-robot stations. The company emphasizes smarter automation, low-risk adoption, and offers its signature Hypercare support, guiding clients from concept exploration through to onsite installation and ongoing optimization. [2, 3, 4] OSARO has demonstrated significant success in real-world applications, such as its collaboration with Zenni Optical, where its robotic bagging systems led to an 80% increase in throughput and a 99.9% accuracy rate. The company has also formed strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Canon U.S.A. and Mission Design & Automation to expand its reach and capabilities. [10, 16] Headquartered in San Francisco, OSARO has a global presence with solutions deployed across multiple continents and an office in Japan. [2, 9, 12] The company fosters an inclusive culture and is recognized for its innovative contributions to the field of robotics and warehouse automation. [2, 4]
