Maven Robotics exits stealth with $100M for warehouse mixed-palletizing robots

- Maven Robotics emerged from stealth with $100M to build mixed-palletizing robots for distribution centers; palletizing alone is an $80B market.
- 8 robots run 16 hours/day at 99%+ uptime; wheeled bases hit 10 mph with dual arms lifting up to 30 kg.
- In 2024 the team had only "a cartoon of a robot"; it beat four rivals with working robots by visiting the customer's factories first.
- Quoted context: Fei-Fei Li's World Labs raised $1.2B and unveiled Atlas, a world model that generates, reconstructs, and simulates 3D environments from text, image, or video — up to 1 minute of 1440p video from a single image with pixel-perfect camera control — with robotics as the real target.
