Gather AI, a Pittsburgh startup that deploys camera-equipped autonomous drones to scan warehouse inventory, closed a $40 million Series B led by Heartland Ventures, according to TechCrunch. The company’s LiDAR and vision-equipped drones autonomously map racks, read barcodes, and update inventory faster and with higher accuracy than manual cycle counts. The funding will accelerate product development and nationwide deployments.
