Robust AI develops collaborative mobile robots for warehouse and manufacturing environments. Its flagship product, Carter, is designed to work alongside human workers rather than replace them, combining AI-powered workflows with human-centric design to automate material handling and logistics tasks. The company was founded by a team that includes robotics pioneer Rodney Brooks.
Carter is offered as an all-inclusive, no-capital-expenditure solution that requires zero infrastructure changes from operators. This deployment model is intended to reduce barriers to adoption and enable rapid integration into existing and dynamic environments, with the company positioning the product to deliver immediate return on investment.
Robust AI operates across the warehousing, manufacturing, material handling, and logistics sectors. Notable engagements include a partnership with Foxconn and a deployment with DHL, where the company reports productivity gains exceeding 60%.
The company's technical focus spans collaborative mobile robotics, artificial intelligence, workflow automation, and human-centered design. Its stated philosophy emphasises enhancing human workers rather than supplanting them, with robots designed to be straightforward for operators to adopt and use in practice.
