Robot.com Launches With 1.7 Million Real-World Robot Tasks Completed

From Kiwibot roots to a global robotics platform for enterprise automation

by Marco van der Hoeven

Robotics company Robot.com has officially launched, introducing a global suite of robots designed for real-world deployment across delivery, logistics, and advertising. Built on the foundation of Kiwibot’s field-tested fleet, the company already counts 1.7 million completed robotic tasks and over 500 operational robots worldwide.

Founded by Felipe Chavez Cortes, Robot.com is the evolution of the Kiwibot platform into a broader automation infrastructure. What began as an experiment in autonomous delivery has matured into a multi-robot ecosystem serving enterprise clients including Sodexo, Amazon Web Services, SKIP, and a U.S. semiconductor manufacturer.

“For years, robotics has been about what might be possible,” said Felipe Chavez, CEO and Founder of Robot.com. “At Robot.com, we’re focused on what’s already working. Every task completed proves that this isn’t a future promise, but infrastructure that works today — saving time, cutting costs, and scaling responsibly.”

A Suite of Robots for Everyday Work

The launch introduces a family of four robot types, each designed for practical deployment rather than demonstration. The R-Dog is a quadruped robot equipped with dual high-resolution screens, bringing motion and interactivity to digital out-of-home advertising. The R-Noid humanoid robot is built to assist in kitchens and handle repetitive work, emphasizing usefulness over spectacle. The R-Kiwi is an evolution of the original Kiwibot, optimized for last-mile delivery across campuses and public spaces. And the R-Cargo system focuses on autonomous material transport in warehouses and factories, designed for precision and reliability both indoors and outdoors.

These platforms share a common technological foundation: a unified AI and software stack capable of managing large fleets in dynamic, human-centered environments.

Scaling Trust Alongside Technology

According to Chavez, the company’s advantage lies not only in its technology, but in the social trust its robots have earned. “In physical AI, social trust isn’t nice-to-have; it’s the moat,” he said in his launch post. “It’s how robotics stops feeling foreign and starts feeling familiar.”

That focus on human-centered design reflects a broader industry shift. As robots increasingly operate in public and commercial spaces, the ability to coexist with people—socially as well as operationally—has become essential for adoption. Robot.com’s approach aims to make automation feel natural, safe, and reliable for users and customers alike.

Enterprise Integration and Market Context

Robot.com’s systems are active across the United States, Canada, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, performing logistics and advertising tasks for enterprise clients in production environments. Sodexo, which serves 80 million consumers daily, has deployed delivery robots from Robot.com on college campuses since 2021. “By continuing to partner with Robot.com, whose technology is designed for dynamic service environments, we’re able to stay ahead of the curve,” said Sarosh Mistry, CEO of Sodexo North America. “Their leading-edge automation enhances speed, precision, and insight throughout operations.”

The company’s financial backing includes Headline, UC Berkeley SkyDeck Fund, Sodexo VC, New Future Capital, Innosphere Ventures Fund, and Tylt Ventures, underscoring investor confidence in a robotics market that McKinsey & Company projects to reach around $370 billion by 2040.

From Experiments to Infrastructure

The launch of Robot.com reflects a transition in robotics—from experimental prototypes to scalable infrastructure that’s already integrated into daily operations. By focusing on what works now rather than what might be possible later, the company positions itself among the few automation providers delivering measurable results at industrial scale.
