Gather AI
Gather AI deploys autonomous warehouse drones for inventory monitoring, scanning up to 1,500 pallets/hour at 99.9%+ accuracy without infrastructure changes.
Gather AI is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based company founded in 2017, spun out of Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute by co-founders Sankalp Arora (CEO, PhD in Robotics from CMU), Daniel Maturana, and Geetesh Dubey. The company deploys autonomous drone systems for real-time inventory monitoring in warehouses and distribution centers.
Gather AI's Physical Intelligence Platform uses AI-powered computer vision on drones and material handling equipment to digitize warehouse operations without requiring GPS, Wi-Fi infrastructure changes, or API integrations with existing warehouse management systems. The platform is described as plug-and-play, deployable within hours. Drones scan inventory 15 times faster than traditional cycle counting methods, with the latest ModalAI Starling 2 Logis hardware capable of scanning up to 1,500 pallets per hour in aisles as narrow as 4 feet 5 inches.
The computer vision system reads LPNs, UPCs, text, lot codes, case counts, and expiration dates from images captured during autonomous flights, achieving stated inventory accuracy of 99.9% or higher. The platform integrates with existing WMS systems and supports inventory reconciliation, misplaced-item detection, and occupancy monitoring.
Commercial customers include Kwik Trip, Axon, GEODIS, and NFI Industries. The company employs approximately 60 people as of early 2026.
Gather AI has raised a total of $74 million in funding across multiple rounds: a $10 million Series A, a $17 million growth round, and a $40 million Series B closed in February 2026, led by Smith Point Capital (Keith Block's firm). Other investors include Bain Capital Ventures, XRC Ventures, Hillman Investments, Tribeca Venture Partners, Xplorer Capital, Dundee Venture Capital, Expa, and Bling Capital.
