Nomagic
Polish maker of AI pick-and-place robotic arms for warehouses, offered as a Robotics-as-a-Service subscription.
Nomagic is a Warsaw, Poland-based robotics company founded in 2017 by Tristan d'Orgeval, Kacper Nowicki, and Marek Cygan. It develops AI-powered pick-and-place robotic arms for e-commerce and warehouse fulfillment, automating repetitive picking, packing, and sorting tasks.
The company's core product, Magicloader, uses computer vision and machine learning to determine how to grasp products it has never seen before, analyzing the position, shape, and characteristics of each item. The system detects rare anomalies such as the robot picking two items at once, supporting reliable, high-throughput operation. Customers can set up the robot and scale from two to three shifts on demand, monitor the process, and detect anomalies through the company's software. Nomagic delivers its solutions under a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, in which customers sign service-level agreements tied to business metrics rather than purchasing hardware outright, lowering the barrier to adoption and aligning cost with measured performance.
Its physical AI solutions span sorting, packing, and picking, with the goal of increasing throughput, accuracy, and scalability while requiring minimal operator intervention. Reference customers include French e-commerce retailer Cdiscount, whose warehouse planning team has cited reduced manual effort in pick-and-place tasks while maintaining logistics performance. Nomagic has raised multiple funding rounds, including an $8.6 million seed round led by Khosla Ventures, one of the largest seed rounds for a Polish startup at the time, and a later $22 million round to expand its e-commerce warehouse picking robots.

New 'SANDO' System Keeps UAVs Safe from Collisions in Wildfire Areas
The 'SANDO' system enhances the safety of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) by ensuring their flight paths remain collision-free, particularly in hazardous environments like wildfires. This technology is crucial as UAVs are often deployed to gather vital information in such dangerous situations, where they face risks from sudden flare-ups and falling debris. The importance of the 'SANDO' system lies in its ability to protect UAVs from potential damage during operations in uncharted territories. By avoiding collisions with obstacles such as tree branches, the system allows for safer data collection, which is essential for rescuers responding to wildfires. This advancement could significantly improve the effectiveness of UAVs in emergency response scenarios. Looking ahead, the implementation of the 'SANDO' system could lead to broader applications of UAVs in various challenging environments. As the technology develops, stakeholders will be keen to observe its impact on UAV operational safety and efficiency in disaster response efforts.

MIT Develops SANDO: A Collision-Free Navigation System for UAVs in Unknown Environments
MIT researchers have developed an autonomous navigation system named SANDO, designed for uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) to navigate safely in unpredictable environments. This system ensures that UAVs can avoid collisions with unknown moving obstacles, which is crucial in high-risk scenarios like search and rescue missions or disaster response. The significance of SANDO lies in its ability to provide formal safety guarantees in dynamic environments, where traditional navigation systems fall short. Unlike existing planners that only work in static settings or lack formal guarantees, SANDO uses a mathematical approach to ensure collision avoidance, making it particularly valuable for applications requiring real-time adaptability. Looking ahead, the potential applications for SANDO are vast, including emergency medical supply deliveries and exploration in hazardous areas. As the technology matures, it could revolutionize how UAVs operate in complex environments, enhancing safety and efficiency. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
