About Nimble Robotics
Nimble is building the autonomous supply chain powered by generalist superhumanoid robots. Nimble's intelligent general-purpose supply chain superhumanoid is the first robot in the world capable of performing all core warehouse tasks including storage, retrieval, picking, packing, sorting, kitting and more. Our proprietary robot replaces dozens of complex systems, enabling autonomous warehouses that operate at a fraction of the cost and complexity of today’s leading systems. Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. Our board of directors includes famed robotics and AI icons Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), Sebastian Thrun (founder of Google X and Waymo) and Fei-Fei Li (former Chief Scientist of AI at Google, Director of Stanford's AI Lab, creator of ImageNet, and CEO of World Labs).
