Sentinel Robotics Raises $85M for Autonomous Warehouse Robots with On-Device Perception

Tech · 6 min read

Sentinel Robotics, a maker of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for warehouses and distribution centers, announced an $85 million Series B to expand manufacturing capacity and deploy across North America and Europe.

The company's differentiator is its on-device perception stack that fuses lidar, cameras, and IMU data to make navigation decisions locally, minimizing cloud dependency and reducing latency for high-throughput environments.

New features funded by the round include collaborative motion planning for mixed human-robot floors and a low-code orchestration dashboard for operations teams to set tasks and monitor metrics without deep robotics expertise.

Operations and UX teams will need to adapt workflows as robots become more autonomous; Sentinel is investing in visual dashboards and safety mode UX to help non-technical staff manage robot interactions and exceptions.
