Tech based startup Control One introduces first AI-enabled physical agent in Forklift

Bengaluru-based startup, Control One has recently introduced  unveiled India’s first physical AI agent for the global market. This innovative AI agent, was showcased in a newly released video, which marks a significant milestone by autonomously handling materials in a warehouse, highlighting its advanced capabilities.

The startup has connected this operating system into a forklift, enabling it to interact with its surroundings and execute tasks based on simple voice inputs. The company aims to change this with its unique operating system designed for transforming slow-moving vehicles into advanced physical AI agents capable of real-time decision-making in dynamic environments.

The founder and CEO of Control One, Pranavan S, expressed his extreme delight about the launch of their new product Vision-to-Action AI model and mentioned, “This OS ushers in a new era of AI-driven automation while also improving productivity and safety across sectors. We can’t wait to witness the significant influence this will have on the supply chain industry going forward.”

The company was founded in 2023, and it attracted investment in April and raised $350k from industry leaders including Helen Greiner (co-founder of iRobot), Kunal Shah (founder of CRED), and executives from Tesla, Walmart, and General Electric.

Automation has revolutionized industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing. However, many AI-driven warehouse tools still depend on pre-set commands, which restrict their flexibility. These tools can be remotely controlled, enabling blue-collar workers to manage multiple pieces of equipment and oversee entire warehouses, thereby reducing physical strain and boosting productivity.

As an NVIDIA Inception Partner, Control One leverages advanced GPUs and expertise to advance and expand its AI systems.
