Gideon Brothers is a Zagreb, Croatia-based robotics and AI company that builds 3D vision-enabled autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and an accompanying software platform. Its robots perform horizontal and vertical handling tasks in logistics, warehousing, manufacturing and retail, including transporting, picking up and dropping off products to free humans for higher-value work. The company leverages proprietary AI and 3D vision technology to enable its AMR capabilities. Gideon Brothers plans to expand operations in the EU and U.S. by opening offices in Munich and Boston and will use new funding to accelerate product development and commercialization. The pandemic has accelerated demand for smart automation, and the company cites strategic partnerships with large customers to scale deployments. Competitors named in reporting include Seegrid, Teradyne (MiR), Vecna Robotics, Fetch Robotics, AutoGuide Mobile Robots, Geek+ and Otto Motors. Gideon Brothers develops an AI-powered “robot brain” that combines 3D computer vision and deep learning to enable autonomous operation in industrial logistics. Its first product is an autonomous, modular intralogistics robot capable of safely handling large pallets and working alongside humans with minimal facility changes. The robots are managed via a fleet management system integrated into an operator’s Warehouse Management System. The company says its technology targets conventional, unstructured industrial facilities rather than purpose-built e-commerce sites, aiming to address labor shortages in logistics. Founded in early 2017, the team exceeds 40 people and includes five PhDs and 27 Masters-level engineers. Financially, the startup has raised a $765,000 seed round to support continued development and on-site testing of its robots.
