BSR Robotics

Every device on your factory floor. One schema. One bill.

BSR Robotics 01 / 11
Cost to ship the same three product layers
$73M
Raised by 6 competitors — each shipping one of the three layers.
$0
Raised by BSR — shipping all three. Today.

Same product. Two cost structures. We're raising to sell it.

The market is already funded

Six companies. Three product layers. $73.4M.

Company Layer Country Founded Total raised
Amper Technologies Machine monitoring USA 2016 $11.0M
Sense MFG · Takton Machine monitoring USA 2024 Bootstrapped
Conduit · FleetGlue Robot orchestration USA 2024 $4.7M

Retina Robotics Forklift / AMR SLAM USA 2026 $2.7M
Cumulative — 6 companies, 4 countries, 3 layers $73.4M
BSR Robotics All three layers USA · IN 2026 $0

Retina Robotics — founded 2026, $2.7M Seed — is the most recent same-year, same-layer comp.

The buyer assembles the stack

Three failed options. A fourth wasn't on the menu.

Option 1 · Custom MES

The integrator quote

A custom MES project costs $50–200K, takes six months, and locks you to one vendor's roadmap forever. The quote alone is the cost of two new machines.

Option 2 · OEM tools

OEM monitoring ignores half your floor

FANUC ZDT only watches FANUC. Mazak SMOOTH only watches Mazak. Your 1990s mill, your hydraulic press, your AMR fleet — all invisible.

Option 3 · Manual

Clipboards don't scale

Spreadsheets, whiteboards, and walking the floor. Worked at 3 machines. Falls apart at 30.

The moat

One schema.
Every device.
One query.

A 1990s mill, a 2026 FANUC, a MiR AMR, a Spot quadruped, a forklift — every device writes the same Firestore doc shape via the same plugin contract.

Frontend never knows about device-specific schemas. New vendor = drop in a Python plugin against the public port_spec.md. Marginal cost of supporting a new brand: 1 engineer-week, then zero per customer.

Plugin SDK is public. Every new integration benefits every existing customer. Same pattern, write-side, ships orchestration.

Why now

Three forces. One window.

01

Reshoring + manufacturing renaissance

US, EU, and India industrial policy all pushing capex into domestic factories. Same demand-side story: every plant manager has a digitization budget that didn't exist 24 months ago.

02

AMR adoption inflection

Spot, MiR, KUKA, Unitree have crossed the price-and-reliability threshold where mid-market manufacturers can justify a single robot purchase — and now need orchestration software that doesn't cost an enterprise contract.

03

Market validated

$73M deployed across six companies in three categories means willingness-to-pay is established. BSR is not betting on category creation — it is betting on category consolidation.

Window: Closes when a well-funded incumbent expands into the adjacent layer, or M&A consolidates the three. Our lead time is measured in quarters, not years.

Traction · honest gaps

What's shipping. What isn't.

Shipping

  • Hardware in field continuously since 2026-05-18
  • All four layers operational in production
  • 7 robot brands integrated & validated (MIR · KUKA · Mars · Spot · Unitree Go1/Go2 · UR5)
  • FANUC FOCAS path tested against real CNC hardware
  • Multi-tenant cloud live · Firestore-rule isolation per tenant
  • ForkSight RTLS shipping · ±10cm accuracy

Not yet

  • Zero paying customers. Zero signed pilots, zero LOIs.
  • No third-party logos. Hardware at founder test site only.
  • No outbound sales motion. 100% inbound + warm intro today.
  • Founder-led install. Solo-founder constraint on SLA.
  • Hardware hand-built. Past 100 boards / quarter needs a CM partner.
  • No SOC 2. Blocks aerospace, medical, mid-market buyers.

The platform is shipping; the GTM hasn't started. That's exactly what the seed funds.

Team

The team that built it for $0.

Founder & CEO Rishabh Changwani Full-time today

Full-stack: PCB design + layout · ESP8266 embedded firmware · Firebase + Cloud Functions + FastAPI on Cloud Run · Next.js + Foxglove-style telemetry UX · customer delivery. Designed the BSR Analog Board v5.0 end-to-end and shipped the platform that's live today.

Lead Localization Engineer Shubham Shah Committed · joins full-time on close

M.S. Robotics, University of Delaware. 4 years at robotics startups working on GPS-denied navigation for UAVs and ground robots. Deep visual-inertial and lidar-inertial SLAM expertise. Leads the ForkSight RTLS product line.

Honest framing: Rishabh is solo-founding today. Shubham activates on close. Two technical founders shipped three competitor-category products pre-funding.
