Connected Robotics

Connected Robotics Inc. is a Japanese foodtech startup, founded in 2014 by Tetsuya Sawanobori and headquartered in Koganei, Tokyo, that develops specialized robotics and AI systems to automate labor-intensive work across food factories and restaurants. Its product line pairs AI image-processing and robot-control technology with purpose-built machines including the Delibot S plating robot, Delibot X filling robot, AI inspection software, a soft-serve ice-cream robot, and a french-fry cooking robot, targeting labor shortages, productivity, and food safety. The company has raised multiple rounds (including a July 2019 Series A led by Global Brain and a Series B closed in 2023 with strategic investors such as Yaskawa Electric, Hoshizaki, and Mitsubishi HC Capital) and was surfaced in the API Evangelist network as a 500 Global portfolio company. As a hardware and robotics manufacturer, Connected Robotics publishes no public web API, developer portal, or SDK at this time.

Connected Robotics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Robotics, Foodtech, Automation, and Artificial Intelligence.

Connected Robotics’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 4 more developer resources.
