Contoro Robotics

Contoro Robotics provides autonomous robotic solutions for trailer and container unloading, combining artificial intelligence with human oversight through a human-in-the-loop platform. The company focuses on automating the unloading of non-palletized boxes in trucks and shipping containers, a labor-intensive process traditionally resistant to automation. Contoro's robots utilize sensors, articulated grippers, mobile bases, and industrial arms to handle diverse box sizes and shapes. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Austin, United States, the company has raised approximately $22M in Series A funding from investors including Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, Kakao Ventures, Village Global, Doosan Investments, Coupang, and SV Investment. Contoro addresses the logistics industry's persistent labor shortages and throughput bottlenecks at loading docks by enabling autonomous unloading operations that can be supervised remotely.
