Anyware Robotics secured $12M in funding for its Pixmo truck unloading robot, and will demonstrate its capabilities at ProMat 2025 in Chicago.

Anyware Robotics, a developer of multi-purpose mobile robotics equipped with embodied intelligence, announced it has secured $12 million in seed funding. The round is led by GFT Ventures, with participation from Foothill Ventures, Black Forest Ventures, Alumni Ventures and other investors.

Anyware Robotics is developing mobile manipulators to tackle tasks beyond human physical capabilities across industries, whether due to size, reach, precision, speed or hazardous conditions. Pixmo, the company’s first robot, is designed to unload containers and trucks, sort and palletize, depalletize, pick cases and load containers.

Anyware will showcase Pixmo at ProMat 2025 in Booth E11513. Pixmo was nominated by MHI as a top 3 finalist for the 2025 Best New Innovation award.

The trade show will be held March 17-20 at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, Ill.

Versatile robotic workforce with Pixmo

Anyware said Pixmo creates a versatile robotic workforce that can be dynamically deployed across the distribution network as operational requirements demand for organizations.

"Warehouse operations, particularly container unloading, face critical challenges with worker safety, labor shortages, and operational efficiency," said Thomas Tang, CEO and co-founder of Anyware Robotics. "Our solution reduces receiving labor expenses by up to 60% and, more importantly, protects workers from injury-prone tasks in harsh conditions where extreme temperatures abound. We’re excited to see Pixmo making a big impact for our customers."

For unloading, Anyware Robotics equipped Pixmo with a patent-pending conveyor accessory, that the company said solves the trade-off between flexible and purpose-built automation. Rather than requiring complex pick-and-place movements, Pixmo employs an innovative "pull" motion to the conveyor, significantly increasing speed and reliability, and delivering more value to their customers.

"Our company will handle over forty-five thousand containers in 2025,” said Young Liu, CEO of Western Post US. “We've sought solutions for years that uphold our efficiency commitments to customers while ensuring a safe work environment for our staff.”

Anyware has deployed Pixmo with multiple 3PLs, with a focus on clients who process large volumes of ocean containers.

"What truly impressed us is Anyware’s ability to go from concept to commercial-ready solution with remarkable speed,” said Jay Eum, founding managing partner of GFT Ventures, who will join the Anyware Board of Directors. “The team's deep understanding of warehouse pain points and pragmatic approach, coupled with their proprietary AI technology, positions them to rapidly transform an industry plagued by labor challenges and inefficiencies."
