Company profile
researched Aug 2026Movel AI is a Singapore-based robotic deployment solutions company that develops software and integrated hardware offerings to help robot manufacturers and end users deploy and operate mobile robots. Its stated mission is to reduce the time, cost and training required to put robots into service, with an emphasis on an easy-to-use interface for controlling single robots or entire fleets.
The product line comprises three areas: custom robotic automation solutions (tailored hardware and software), the Movel Robotic Navigation System (RNS), a mobile robot deployment system for single robots that uses sensor combination technology so mobility platforms can perceive and act as humans do, and the Movel Fleet Management System (FMS), a full-service system designed to manage 100+ robots, connecting autonomous mobile robots, forklift robots, pallet truck robots from different brands and even non-ROS-enabled robots. An updated release, Seirios FMS 2.0, adds traffic, task and area management plus robot performance analytics aimed at addressing robot integration and interoperability.
The company describes its solutions as vendor-agnostic and applicable across logistics, manufacturing/industrial, construction, healthcare and cleaning. According to SGInnovate, Movel AI's platform is powered by deep learning, sensor fusion and probabilistic planning, and its first product enables robot navigation described as three times more accurate, five times faster and 80% cheaper than current standards.
Founding story
Founded in Singapore by a team of experienced robotics engineers and entrepreneurs with the aim of making robotics deployment more accessible to businesses. Founder and CEO Abhishek Gupta holds a Master's in Embedded Systems from Nanyang Technological University and previously founded a hardware robotics company, where he designed and sold more than US$70,000 of educational robots to a Singaporean university in under 15 months.
Business model
Movel AI supplies robotics deployment software (navigation and fleet management systems) that is installed locally on a robot or AGV's on-board computer and interfaced with over WiFi from any device, alongside custom robotic hardware and software integration projects. It positions itself as a partner to both robot hardware companies and end users rather than only a software vendor.
Traction
Published case studies cover warehouse automation with Amgen, robot deployment with Infiniti Group and fleet management with Simtech, plus industry projects with Tugbot by RoboSavvy, ROSATI, BCA (construction) and Ideasparq (cleaning). SGInnovate lists the company at seed stage.
Latest developments
Movel AI announced the closure of an investment round led by Silicon Solution Ventures with participation from JR Kelmscott, SEEDS Capital, Siix-AGT Medtech, Miltonia Investments and Ngen Capital (Group) AG. Funds are directed toward product development and R&D, operations, sales and marketing, and the release of Seirios FMS 2.0, a fleet management system for simultaneous control of diverse mobile robots with traffic, task and area management and performance analytics.
