Bossa Nova Robotics Expands Walmart Deployment to 1,000 Stores

The 2017 partnership announcement with Walmart was rightly seen as a huge win for Bossa Nova.

Description:
RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awardsobotics Business ReviewIn January 2020, mobile retail robotics supplier Bossa Nova Robotics announced that the company will deploy its shelf-scanning inventory robot to 1,000 Walmart stores in the U.S., up  om 350. The deployment should be completed by early fall 2020. Boss Nova initially partnered with Walmart in 2017 with a 50-robot evaluation program.

Analysis:
Bossa Nova Robotics was founded in 2005, a spinout  from Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. The company initially focused on robotic toys. Bossa Nova pivoted to become a data service provider for the retail industry using highly sensored, autonomous mobile robots to detect out-of-stock items, identified mispriced and misplaced items, and more.

Bossa Nova faces competition  from a
number of other companies that employ
robotics as autonomous mobile sensors. The
2017 partnership announcement with Walmart
was rightly seen as a huge win for Bossa Nova.
At one stroke, it legitimized the company, along
with its business model and value proposition.
But it is Bossa Nova’s follow-up expansion
of Walmart deployments following initial
assessment phase that is most critical.

Walmart is the world’s largest brick-andmortar
retailer, with over 1,500 stores and 2
million employees worldwide. It is in the midst
of a massive innovation program centered on
robots, AI, and data. Bossa Nova Robotics is a
key piece of that initiative. – Dan Kara
