Cobalt Robotics
US security robotics company offering autonomous indoor patrol robots with 60+ sensors as a Robotics-as-a-Service subscription, rebranded as Cobalt AI in 2024.
Cobalt Robotics was founded in 2016 in San Mateo, California, by Erik Schluntz (former SpaceX engineer) and Travis Deyle (former Georgia Tech Healthcare Robotics Lab and Google X). The company builds five-foot-tall autonomous indoor security robots that patrol commercial facilities 24/7, using over 60 sensors including cameras, thermal imaging, and badge scanners to detect anomalies such as open doors, environmental hazards, and intruders. Cobalt operates under a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) monthly subscription model that bundles the robot hardware, software upgrades, and remote human specialist oversight.
Clients have included DoorDash, Yelp, and Slack. The company raised a total of $66.5 million across four funding rounds, including a $36.8 million Series B in 2019 led by Coatue Management with Sequoia Capital participation. In June 2024, the company was acquired by Dean Drako and rebranded as Cobalt AI to reflect expanded focus on AI-powered security automation.
