Shifters builds supervised autonomous ground robotic teams that enable operators to coordinate mission-configurable robots to enter, sense and operate in dangerous environments ahead of people. Its platform combines AI decision-making, mission orchestration and modular robotic systems designed with Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) principles, robust APIs and partner integration. The company has completed demonstrations of coordinated robotic entry and navigation capabilities with defense and security stakeholders. Reported use cases span defense and national security (reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, perimeter monitoring and high-risk mission preparation) as well as commercial applications like infrastructure inspections, agriculture, mining and search and rescue. Shifters is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and operates in the U.S., Middle East and Europe. Financially, the company has raised $10.2 million in this seed round, bringing total funding to $15 million to support AI development, manufacturing readiness and global expansion.
