The latest funding will be used to scale manufacturing, strengthen its AI and autonomy stack, expand deployments across India and enter international markets, including the Middle East.

Flo Mobility’s flagship product, the Flo Hauler, is a battery-powered autonomous mobile robot designed for construction environments. The robot can carry loads of up to 1.5 tonnes across uneven terrain and multi-floor construction sites.

The company said it has deployed more than 60 robots across 10 states, working with developers including L&T, Godrej Properties, Embassy Group and Sobha. According to the company, deployments have resulted in around 45 per cent cost savings, 50 per cent faster material movement and a 67 per cent reduction in accidents.
