Destro AI raises $8M seed round
What happened
On October 1, 2026, TechCrunch reported Destro came out of stealth with an $8 million seed round. The company does not build robot hardware; it provides an AI intelligence layer that lets robots work in logistics settings while directing human workers alongside them. Destro has piloted three Miva Robotics transport robots at one Yusen Logistics facility, driven by a Vision operating system built on an open-weights vision-language-action model. That pilot has grown to 26 robots, with a new 17-robot pilot in Southern California.
