Pix Moving

Pix Moving offers a four-wheeled, self-driving chassis platform that can be customized to build any suitable unit on top of it. Its lightweight 3D-printed chassis platforms come with Level 4 autonomous technology (i.e., self-driving supported pre-specified areas) and are equipped with sensors and cameras to avoid obstacles when navigating. Its unit pitched toward last-mile delivery is called “Pixloop” and comes in two models, namely, 1) “Pixloop Hooke,” which can be used to build ADVs and can travel at speeds of up to ~25 mph, and 2) “Pixloop Heisenberg,” which can be used to build droid units and can travel at speeds up to 4.5 mph carrying a maximum payload of 220 lbs. 

As of March 2024, the company’s Pixloop units were deployed in San Francisco (California) as well as Xiamen, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou (China).

Key customers and partnerships

Pix Moving’s customer partnerships include Japanese information technology company TIS  to deploy delivery vehicles built on its chassis platforms to deliver goods at retirement communities in Japan (July 2022), and Conjure (also known as Robomart) to develop platforms for its autonomous mobiles stores to be deployed in California (January 2024).

Funding and financials

Pix Moving raised USD 10 million in Series A funding from TIS in July 2022. Previously, it raised USD 11 million in pre-Series A funding in March 2022, to start mass production of its autonomous shuttles and chassis platforms, expand in overseas markets, and hire new employees. 

Key competitors: None comparable (Pix Moving is the only startup within the LMDA hub that offers self-driving chassis platforms)
