XTEND, the Tel Aviv, Israel-based developer of XOS, an AI-driven operating system for humans to interact with drones and robots, raised $40M in Series B funding.
The round was led by Chartered Group, with further participation from its existing and new strategic investors, including Clal-Tech.
The company intends to use the funds to further develop the proprietary XOS operating system and its application in various enterprise and security scenarios worldwide, and to ramp up global sales of its own drones and robotics products.
Led by Aviv Shapira, CEO, Matteo Shapira, CXO, XTEND provides a human-supervised, AI-driven drone and robot operating system that enables operators to perform highly complex and dynamic missions in any environment with minimal training. When drones and robots are controlled by its patented XOS operating system – which combines the best of human intelligence and machine autonomy – it provides a new way for logistics, public safety, inspection, defense, and security professionals to interact with machines effectively from a safe distance.
Hundreds of XTEND’s drone and robotics systems are already operationally deployed worldwide, and the company is continuously developing its XOS operating system and those platforms to deliver the future of human-machine teaming. XOS is hardware agnostic, which allows it to control all sorts of platforms, including third party devices, complement existing technology, or create entirely new systems from scratch. XOS’s open architecture means that it can host applications developed by other companies, too.
XOS has been developed for multiple markets, including logistics, public safety, inspection, and security.
