Corvus Robotics - United States

US-based Physical AI developer for the logistics and warehousing sector, Corvus Robotics, has named its co-founder and chief technology officer Mohammed Kabir as its new chief executive officer.

He succeeds co-founder Jackie Wu, who is stepping back for health reasons but will remain on the company’s board of directors.

Kabir has led the company’s technology and product since its founding. 

“Stepping into this role is a privilege, and I am glad Jackie is staying on our board,” he says.

“Corvus Robotics was founded on the conviction that the physical world generates enormous amounts of data and almost none of it gets captured or acted on.

“Our fleet currently analyses over a million locations every month, giving our customers an unprecedented view into what actually happens inside their facilities.”

UK-based Abbey Attachments has named Roger Brand as its new regional sales manager, bringing him back to the company he started with almost 30 years ago.

Brand brings more than two decades of experience in the materials handling industry including the last seven with Italian attachment manufacturer Bolzoni.

His career has also seen Brand work with Cascade Corporation, Toyota Materials Handing UK and Briggs Equipment UK.

His first job in the sector was with Abbey Attachments for almost a decade ending in 2006 when he held the role of hire controller.

“Over the years, Roger has built a strong understanding of the challenges customers face and the solutions that help them operate more efficiently,” Abbey states. “That experience will be a valuable asset as he gets to know Abbey, our customers, and the products and services we provide.”
