Academy of Robotics is a company that specialises in combining artificial intelligence to create task simplifying machines. Its proprietary invention, Kar-Go, is one of the world’s first AI-controlled autonomous vehicles that aims to remove the need for human intervention in last-mile deliveries reducing labour costs by as much as 90%. Last-mile delivery is a £78 billion business, and e-commerce customers increasingly expect cheap and fast deliveries. This is where Kar-go aims to establish itself as the market leader. The company utilises 'Platform-as-a-service' business model where last-mile autonomous delivery is sold as a service that consists of sale or rental of vehicles & infrastructure, operators and maintenance services, and other verticals. For its innovation, Academy of Robotics has been cited by British business magnate Richard Branson & Virgin as one of the companies to make a serious impact in the autonomous car space. It has also been featured on TV and in over 200 publications including The BBC, Wired, Mail Online, Guardian amongst others. The company will use the investment to finance the building of 10 vehicles which will be used to facilitate on-road-trial.
