Calgary-based Attabotics has filed for bankruptcy protection after spending nearly $200 million in funding and laying off most of its workforce, multiple reports indicate. Founded in 2015, Attabotics developed robotic fulfillment systems inspired by ant colonies, aiming to transform warehouse operations for major retailers.
Despite backing from Export Development Canada and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, the company reportedly burned through millions monthly. Documents circulated online show a June 30 filing under Canada’s Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, with Richter Inc. named trustee. The filing has yet to appear in federal records. Attabotics has not publicly disclosed plans for restructuring.
