OSARO

Scores by criterion

Each criterion is defined on our methodology page.

Who uses OSARO and what it's for

E-commerce retailers, fulfillment centers, and their integrators use OSARO for robotic bagging, piece picking from AMR and ASRS systems, kitting, and mixed-case depalletizing.^1,3

Named users include Coupang in Korea and eyewear seller Zenni Optical in California.^6,8

History

Derik Pridmore, a former Founders Fund investor, and Michael Kahane co-founded OSARO, which says it has worked on AI-driven robotics for more than 10 years. Its early research covered deep reinforcement learning and imitation learning from video demonstrations.^2,1

In March 2025 Fast Company named OSARO to its list of the World's Most Innovative Companies, in the top 10 for robotics and engineering. In August 2026 it completed a SOC 2 Type II audit.^4,3

SightWorks and robot cells

SightWorks generates confidence maps from RGB and 3D data to find objects and grasp points, and AutoModel learns new items on the fly. Pridmore says newer models trained on production data need less learning at each new install.^5,1

The Robotic Bagging System pairs OSARO picking with automatic bagging machines from established suppliers, and the HyperCare program monitors systems after go-live.^4,1

Pricing

OSARO does not publish prices. Systems are scoped per site, and the company invites buyers to send products for a test or visit a live deployment.²

Competitive landscape

Limits

Pricing is quote only.²

Revenue and recent funding are not disclosed. We estimate revenue at $10 million to $25 million, based on production deployments in five countries and a Coupang program sized for more than 1,500 autobaggers. This is an estimate, not a reported figure.^1,6

OSARO supplies the intelligence and works through robot makers and integrators such as FANUC, so buyers often deal with more than one vendor.⁸

What customers say

Where it helps

At Zenni Optical, robot cells pick each pair of glasses in its case, scan the barcode through the case, and drop it into a bagging machine. Zenni reports an 80% increase in throughput.⁸

Coupang's fulfillment centers run 18 to 20 hours a day with more than 250,000 SKUs, and OSARO set up a five-person engineering team in Korea within four months to support them.⁶

Where it falls short

Parcel hubs that mainly need high-speed sortation of boxes and polybags may get more from purpose-built parcel systems such as Ambi Robotics or Plus One Robotics.
