Contoro Robotics

Logistics

Company overview

Contoro Robotics builds AI-powered robotic systems for unloading floor-loaded trailers and shipping containers. Designed to address one of the most labor-intensive and hazardous logistics tasks, Contoro’s robots combine advanced perception, motion planning, and patented gripper design with a unique human-in-the-loop (HITL) architecture. The company’s system integrates AdaptAI, which simulates real-world environments to plan optimal movements, and InteleOp, which enables remote human teleoperation in complex edge cases. This approach ensures reliability from day one, with the robot achieving over 99% accuracy in challenging warehouse environments, even where traditional automation fails.

Contoro’s pricing follows a pay-per-container model—a flexible, usage-based Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) approach. Customers avoid heavy upfront capital expenditures and instead pay for robot services based on volume, making automation predictable and affordable. The subscription includes the hardware, AI software, remote operations support, and continuous software improvements. This model gives facilities a way to scale robot capacity with demand, ensuring efficiency without financial risk. The offering is especially attractive to logistics and e-commerce operations that face variable throughput and tight margins.
