Korben For People
"Let's talk less, Let's test more"
French startup providing service robots and a multi-brand fleet-management platform that unifies robots from leading manufacturers in one interface.
Korben For People is a Montpellier-based French robotics startup, launched in late 2024 by Lucas Goumarre and Thomas Bassino, that supplies service robots and a software platform to operate them. The company distributes ready-to-use service robots across three ranges: delivery, cleaning, and welcome/reception, deployed in hotels, restaurants, cinemas, supermarkets, offices, and logistics environments to relieve human teams of repetitive tasks. Its core differentiator is a multi-brand fleet-management software layer that abstracts the proprietary APIs of leading robot manufacturers into a single interface, allowing customers to manage a mixed fleet from one screen. The platform handles task routing based on each machine's skills and availability and exposes a unified operator interface, with the stated ambition of becoming an operating system for service robots in European companies.
Korben operates a B2B SaaS model priced around 150 EUR per robot per month, and reports its robots are present in more than 250 establishments. Data captured on-site is anonymized and hosted on French servers (OVH) to ensure data sovereignty. The company offers end-to-end solutions spanning product selection, installation, and maintenance, with a stated presence across Europe and Asia. Target customers include cleaning companies, hospitality groups, hypermarkets, and supply-chain operators seeking to integrate autonomous robots alongside their staff.
