"This is the era of the physical AI and a lot of companies talking about the future, and we are there," shares Yaniv Maor, Founder and CEO of Tevel Aerobotics Technologies. Tevel, which was selected to be a part of Calcalist and Showcase IL’s recent ScaleUp House initiative, develops autonomous flying robots for orchard harvesting, aiming to help solve agricultural labour shortages.
Speaking to CTech's Amy Shapiro at Sullivan's Annual Client event in Tel Aviv – a sponsor of ScaleUp House – Maor expressed the excitement of pioneering a space as the momentum surrounding physical AI starts to promise large-scale real-world application in the coming years.
Looking ahead, Tevel is aiming for massive global deployment. "We are planning to have tens of thousands of robots deployed in our customers," which include operations overseas in remote geographies like Brazil. With the world of physical AI steadily advancing, Maor believes hitting this milestone in the next two to three years is "definitely doable."
