About

Bossa Nova, a robotics company, laid off a significant portion of its workforce in early November 2020. While the exact number of employees affected was not publicly disclosed, the layoffs impacted dozens of workers, representing a substantial reduction as the company shifted its business strategy. The cuts were part of a broader restructuring, moving away from in-store inventory robots for retailers like Walmart—a sector heavily impacted by the pandemic—to focus on other robotics applications. This restructuring occurred within the competitive and capital-intensive robotics and artificial intelligence industry.
