Onward Robotics
Pittsburgh-based warehouse AMR company (formerly IAM Robotics, founded 2012) delivering Lumabot AMRs and Pyxis orchestration software for fulfillment.
Onward Robotics (formerly IAM Robotics) is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based autonomous mobile robot (AMR) and warehouse automation company founded in 2012. Headquartered at 250 48th Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15201, the company designs and deploys person-to-goods fulfillment technology for warehousing, distribution, and e-commerce operations. Its core offering is the Meet Me™ automation concept: the Lumabot® AMR fleet carries goods to human pickers, orchestrated in real time by the Pyxis Suite™ fulfillment platform.
Pyxis uniquely manages picker and robot workflows independently, dynamically coordinating humans, robots, and work as one unified system from induction through pack-out. The platform integrates with any warehouse management system (WMS) and has been showcased at MODEX 2026. Onward Robotics raised approximately $21.1 million from investors including KCK Group, Plug and Play Ventures, Fusion Fund, and Innovation Works.
The company employs approximately 93 people across 4 continents. In addition to capital purchasing, Onward Robotics offers a Robots as a Service (RaaS) subscription model. The company rebranded from IAM Robotics to Onward Robotics to reflect its expanded product scope beyond individual robots to an integrated fulfillment orchestration platform.
