Simbe Robotics develops retail intelligence platforms, including solutions for out-of-stock management, pricing execution, planogram compliance, and inventory tracking. Their flagship product, Tally, is an autonomous mobile robot that safely travels store aisles alongside customers, scanning shelves as it goes. It has an array of sensors, allowing Simbe to provide shelf-auditing solutions informed by AI, computer vision and RFID.
Function assisted Simbe with development of two versions of the Tally robot, with tasks covering drivetrain design, charging dock design, structural stiffness and robustness improvements and design improvements to afford easier higher-volume manufacturing.
