Tutor Intelligence Cassie and Sonny Robot Workers

Tutor Intelligence is a robotics research and deployment company that builds generally capable robots and foundation models for warehouses and factories. The company originated at MIT CSAIL, and its website places its headquarters in Watertown, Massachusetts, in the United States.

The company offers two robot workers. Cassie is a single-arm autonomous mobile robot for palletizing, depalletizing and case picking, and Sonny is a mobile robot that picks items from racking for e-commerce fulfillment. Fleets take orders from the customer's warehouse management system, and a central data engine uses field data to keep improving the robot models.

• Cassie palletizing: single-arm mobile robot for palletizing, depalletizing and case picking.
• Sonny picking: mobile robot that picks items from racking for e-commerce orders.
• WMS-driven orders: fleets fulfill orders directly from the customer's warehouse management system.
• Data engine: field data from robot fleets feeds continuous model improvement.
• Flexible commercial terms: pay by the hour or by the pick, or buy robots with an annual service plan.

Palletizing and depalletizing at Vietnamese consumer-goods and packaging plants. Piece picking from racking in e-commerce fulfillment centers. Case handling in third-party logistics warehouses with peak-season demand.

Robots-as-a-service pricing from 14 USD per hour, with support, maintenance and model updates included. Month-to-month terms avoid large upfront cost. Palletizing needs no change to existing equipment, and the company claims a 10-50% reduction in cost per pick.

Labor shortages and rising fulfillment costs push warehouses and small manufacturers toward flexible robot workers that need little integration. Robot-as-a-service models lower the entry barrier, which suits the growing logistics and e-commerce sector in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

Raised a 34 million USD Series A in December 2025 led by Union Square Ventures with Fundomo and Neo, bringing total funding to 42 million USD. Originated at MIT CSAIL. Customers are in the US.
