Brain Corp flags autonomous mobile robot milestones, hires Chris Lobdell as Chief Revenue Officer
Brain Corp has announced a series of milestones achieved in autonomous robotics during 2023 along with the appointment of Chris Lobdell as its new Chief Revenue Officer.
In 2023, the company exceeded 30,000 robots subscribed to the BrainOS Robotics Platform across autonomous floor scrubbing, autonomous vacuuming, and autonomous inventory scanning.
Within the same year, its OEM partners deployed 5,700 new robots across 265 customers globally.
Brain Corp saw its fleet of floor scrubbing robots utilising the BrainOS Robotics Platform cover a total of 38 billion square feet. This is equivalent to its fleet autonomously cleaning an area roughly the size of Luxembourg.
Floor scrubbing robots running on the BrainOS Robotics Platform logged over 2.3 million hours of autonomous operation in 2023, which surpasses 287,000 workdays.
Inventory scanning robots running on the BrainOS Robotics Platform captured over 7.9 billion shelf images in 2023. AI leverages this dataset to identify crucial insights, such as out-of-stock items and product locations.

As CRO, Lobdell will focus on scaling Brain Corp’s sales, marketing and client success operations, building deeper customer relationships and strengthening ties with Brain Corp’s channel partners.
“Brain Corp has established itself as the leader in next-generation robotics, powering advanced autonomous robot applications for companies like Walmart and Kroger,” Lobdell says.
“With the expansion of Brain Corp’s capabilities to include new vision-based AI data applications, I’m excited to put my two decades of co-innovating with retailers to bring to market the next generation of autonomous inventory scanning retail solutions.”
In his most recent position as Chief Revenue Officer at GoodData, Lobdell played a pivotal role in steering overall go-to-market strategies. Prior to GoodData, he led a team of sellers at Salesforce focused on Salesforce’s Data & Identity Solutions for retailers and CPG manufacturers.
In 2017, Lobdell served as Chief Revenue Officer at the marketing tech SaaS provider Ahalogy, an influencer marketing company with clients such as Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola and Kroger.
Earlier in his career, he held several sales leadership and sales engineering roles at companies like Google, and DataXu (now Roku).
With Brain Corp positioning to scale its footprint within several international markets in the near term, former CRO Michel Spruijt will step into the newly established role of President of International Business, where he will lead business development and go-to-market teams and activities outside of North America.
"2023 marked a year of unparalleled scale and achievements for Brain Corp," says David Pinn, CEO at Brain Corp.
"With the addition of Chris, a highly adept industry executive, we are poised to further propel our growth trajectory, particularly in enterprise software sales."
