Danish company Coalescent Mobile Robotics (CM-Robotics) has announced the appointment of Oskar Lauritzen as its new Chief Executive Officer.

CM-Robotics develops and sells autonomous mobile robots that streamline in-store transportation needs, addressing tasks such as order fulfilment, restocking, and garbage collection.

Lauritzen ssys: “With a decade in SaaS, I’m eager to integrate my scaling expertise with robotics in the commerce sector.”

“I’m passionate about building for scale, and having spent many years working with grocery retailers, combining software and now hardware with the grocery industry, joining a strong and passionate team at CM-Robotics is exciting.”

Clionadh Martin, the current CEO and founder of Coalescent Mobile Robotics, will transition to the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

“We are excited to welcome Oskar as our new CEO,” Martin comments.

“As we gear up to scale our business, finding someone with expertise in commercialisation and building for scale was paramount. Oskar’s proven track record in scaling up companies and guiding their commercialisation efforts makes him the ideal leader to drive CM-Robotics into its next phase of growth.”

Funding round

Earlier this year, CM-Robotics closed a €2 million seed funding round with Superangel and EIFO as lead investors.

The cash is being used to develop the next generation of AMRs and expand into European markets.

 "We are very excited to be making our first deal in Denmark, given our focus on the Nordics and DeepTech,” said Superangel Venture Partner Kart Siilats. 

“We were impressed by seeing the Coalescent Mobile Robotics in action in a Bilka store, how friendly and welcoming both the clients and Bilka employees were towards them and how intuitive and comprehensive the fleet management software is.”

“We think Coalescent Mobile Robotics has demonstrated a great partnership with Bilka and will go on to ease the heavy physical labour in many other stores across the globe, the same way we've seen robots in our other portfolio companies like Starship and Rocsys help their clients.”
