U.S company Bear Robotics, parent company of robotics solution Servi, has raised USD$81 million, bringing the company’s total funding to $117 million. The company previously secured a $32 million funding round in 2020, led by SoftBank, to develop robots that bus tables and deliver food and drinks.
The company will use the new round of funding to add products focused on automating tasks in the hospitality space. It will also grow its team and its footprint around the world.
Since Bear Robotics' founding in 2017, it has placed an increasing number of its Servi robots in retirement homes, sports arenas, casinos and hotels. The company, however, has seen an uptick in restaurant interest during the pandemic, deploying in a handful of Chili’s and Denny’s recently.
