Cyngn on track to sell more robots in this quarter than in all of 2025

by

Cyngn says it is continuing to see “commercial momentum” for its autonomous vehicle solutions, driven by expanding customer deployments, increased utilization across existing sites, and accelerating sales activity entering 2026.

According to Marty Petratis, Cyngn’s VP of sales, the company is on track to sell more in Q1 of 2026 than all of last year based on current bookings and pipeline, although the company doesn’t provide unit sales figures.

Cyngn has seen a steady build in customer demand as enterprise manufacturers move from pilots into production deployments of its DriveMod Tugger. These deployments typically begin by automating a single repetitive material transport route within a facility.

Corvus Robotics installs ‘fully autonomous’ drone-based inventory system at Dermalogica global headquarters

by

Corvus Robotics has installed of its Corvus One autonomous inventory management system at Dermalogica’s global headquarters and primary distribution center in Carson, California. The facility manufactures and distributes professional-grade skincare products to retail, wholesale, and e-commerce channels worldwide.

Operating live inside the Dermalogica warehouse, the Corvus One drone system performs fully autonomous aerial inventory scans outside of active picking hours. The system images the warehouse 52 times per year, representing a 600 percent increase in inventory imaging frequency compared to prior manual cycle counting processes.

Before deployment, inventory counting required a dedicated cycle counter and could take up to two months to complete a full pass through the facility. With Corvus One, Dermalogica has repurposed approximately 120 labor hours per month, reallocating that time to higher-value operational work.
