Platform maturity, autonomy stack, and flagship-system specifications in one view.
A concise view of platform maturity and deployment footprint.
Cobalt Robotics was founded in 2016 by Travis Deyle and Erik Schluntz. The pair built autonomous robots to work alongside human security guards. The company raised ~$66.5 million from Sequoia Capital, Coatue, and Promus Ventures.
Robots designed with Yves Behar's Fuseproject featured 60+ sensors using AI to detect security and environmental threats. By 2022, hundreds of robots were deployed globally.
Cobalt AI continues operating independently with existing management, investing in R&D and sales to scale the enterprise security platform.
In June 2024, Dean Drako (Eagle Eye Networks) acquired the company, rebranding it as Cobalt AI to reflect expansion beyond robots into AI alarm filtering, remote monitoring, and broader security automation.
