Ottonomy builds autonomous robots for hyperlocal indoor and outdoor delivery using Contextual AI.
The company has raised a total of $7.8 million from investors including pi Ventures, CoreNest, Connetic Ventures, and ADR Ventures.
Its first customer was Cincinnati International Airport, where robots served food and beverages.
Ottonomy has also run pilots with Walmart and other airports, and later expanded to healthcare and industrial settings.
One deployment in Finland at minus-18°C moved goods for a chemical company.
The company was founded during the Covid pandemic, with the first robot built in a guest room in India and tested in a basement.

Ottonomy competes with Nuro, Starship Technologies, and Serve Robotics in the autonomous delivery robot space.
Its robots use Contextual AI with pre-trained models that understand environments like hospitals, malls, and sidewalks.
The business model is Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) with a subscription of $999 per robot per month on 1–5 year contracts.

Its product SKUs are Ottobot 2.0 for industrial environments and Ottobot 3.0 for narrow spaces like hospital elevators.
The robots have customisable compartment modules with 6–8 configurations for multi-order deliveries (8–10 per trip), medical transport, warehouse material movement, and high-value payload.
The fleet management platform Ottumn.ai coordinates robots, drones, arms, smart mailboxes, elevators, and access doors.
Manufacturing is entirely in India, with 40% domestic supply chain; critical components like LiDAR and semiconductors are imported.
