US robotics company Maven Robotics today announced it has emerged from stealth mode, completed a $100 million Series A funding round, and has already deployed its robots. The company plans to build 250 third-generation robots and has begun designing its fourth-generation platform. Maven Robotics focuses on industrial operations, with its robots primarily used for "mixed palletizing" tasks, which involve reassembling boxed goods from different factories into new pallets at distribution centers to meet real-time demands from retail stores.
