Savioke will use the funds to scale delivery of robotic solutions to customers and partners in global healthcare, hospitality and logistics markets. Savioke develops autonomous robots for the services industry, notably Relay, its autonomous hotel delivery robot.

The company is developing a first, as-yet unnamed robot focused on the services industry, targeting hospitals, elder care facilities, hotels, restaurants and office services to take on dirty, dull and dangerous work and improve process efficiency. Its robot will be built on the open-source Robot Operating System (ROS). The team is largely composed of ex-Willow Garage staff. Savioke plans to begin customer trials later this year. Financially, the company announced a $2 million seed round to develop and build the robot, with backing from several venture investors.
