Robust AI develops collaborative mobile robotics solutions for warehouse and manufacturing environments, with an emphasis on human-centric design and AI-powered workflow integration. The company was founded by a team that includes robotics pioneer Rodney Brooks and is currently led by CEO Anthony Jules. Their engineering approach prioritizes robots that work alongside human workers in material handling and logistics operations rather than replacing them.
The company's flagship product, Carter, is a collaborative mobile robot designed for rapid deployment in dynamic warehouse and manufacturing settings. The system is offered as an all-inclusive, no-CapEx solution that requires zero infrastructure changes to existing facilities. Carter integrates AI-powered workflows to operate in environments where adaptability to changing conditions is essential. The platform has been deployed at DHL, where the company reports 60%+ productivity gains, and Robust AI has established a partnership with Foxconn to scale manufacturing applications.
Robust AI's technical focus spans collaborative mobile robotics, artificial intelligence, and automation for material handling and logistics. The engineering philosophy centers on making robots broadly useful and effortless to adopt, addressing the practical constraints of deploying autonomous systems in production environments where human-robot collaboration is a requirement rather than an edge case. The company positions its solutions for immediate ROI through deployment models that minimize upfront capital investment and infrastructure modification.
