Butlr, a leader in physical AI (PAI) technology, announced an additional investments from Ricoh, Wistron and Taiwan Global Angels for a total of $75M in funding to date. Through its patented technology, AIsensors and data that anonymously understand how humans interact and use indoor space for working and living, Butlr has sparked an untapped ecosystem for the built environment.
Buildings are the world’s largest user interface, with billions of people entering or exitingone or several throughout the day. Yet the ability to understand how suitable the building is for their needs, and how those needs impact sustainability, were previously only possible using digital tools that require privacy tradeoffs, such as cameras. Now, within minutes of installing Butlr sensors, commercial real estate (CRE) landlords and tenants have original, anonymous and accurate insights into building occupancy and usage.
“Our mission is to provide insight into every commercial building without compromising individual privacy. Only through a true understanding of how a building is used can improvements be made to transform it to meet the needs of its occupants, instead of having humans conform to the building,” said Honghao Deng, CEO and co-founder, Butlr. “The latest investments allow us to accelerate our global presence and continue to deliver our ‘office as a product,’ solution while expanding into additional segments including senior care, retail and higher ed campuses.”
