Mars Auto alternatives

Mars Auto applies autonomous driving to heavy freight: the South Korean company runs self-driving Class 8 trucks carrying commercial cargo in South Korea and the United States, with cumulative funding of about US$13M per its own website. The alternatives each automate a different physical job. Mimic Robotics, based in Switzerland, builds video-action models and dexterous hands for assembly, packaging and sorting work in manufacturing and logistics. Onward Robotics pairs fulfilment AMRs with orchestration software to coordinate order picking inside warehouses and distribution centres. OpenMind provides OM1, an operating system and deployment layer intended to run robots from many manufacturers — humanoids, quadrupeds, arms, mobile bases and drones — under one stack. Ottonomy builds Ottobots for indoor and outdoor logistics in hospitals, enterprise campuses, airports and city sidewalks, with roughly US$8.6M raised per CB Insights. A carrier or shipper moving long-haul freight is Mars Auto's natural audience; a factory evaluating manipulation models, a warehouse redesigning picking, a multi-vendor fleet operator, or a hospital or airport planning last-mile deliveries would each start from a different member of this group.
