Softbank-Backed Brain Corp. Expands Its Robot “Brain” Beyond Floor Cleaning To Autonomous Delivery

Brain Corp., a Softbank-backed firm that makes autonomous systems for robotic floor cleaners, said today that it was expanding into the robotic delivery space. As a first step, the San Diego-based company introduced a proof-of-concept delivery robot, powered by its software brain, called BrainOS, which is capable of towing carts in factories, warehouses and stores. It expects to launch commercially early next year.
