CTRL Robotics

CTRL Robotics, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Singapore, is a company focused on simplifying robotic automation for various businesses. The company was established by Steven Pinto, Nikhil Ranchod, and Taahir Bhaiyat, who met while working on an automation project. Their initial challenging experience led to the realization that a simpler, more accessible platform was needed for businesses to implement robotic solutions without requiring specialized engineering or coding knowledge.

The core of CTRL Robotics' business is a software platform that allows for the rapid setup and management of multi-utility robot fleets. This no-code system is designed to integrate seamlessly with a client's existing enterprise resource planning (ERP), warehouse management (WMS), or point-of-sale (POS) systems. The platform aims to remove the traditional complexities and high costs associated with robotic automation, making it accessible to a broader market beyond large corporations. The business model appears to be a full turnkey solution, providing the software, support, and integration services to get robots operational quickly.

CTRL Robotics serves clients in sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, and logistics, including hotels, hospitals, and warehouses. Their product enables the automation of manual, repetitive tasks like item delivery and floor cleaning. For example, delivery robots can transport items of various sizes and weights between floors, freeing up human staff to concentrate on higher-value activities. A significant milestone for the company was developing an end-to-end management platform for the Hotel Sky group, which marked the first introduction of service robotics and automation to the African continent and gained global media attention. While initially a software-only company, CTRL Robotics is exploring the development of its own hardware, including devices to control elevators and a dedicated range of robots specifically designed for the healthcare sector.
