A new level of human-robot collaboration and interaction opens doors to more flexible, AI-powered logistics workflows

SAN CARLOS, Calif.: #automation--Robust.AI launched Carter™ Pro, a new collaborative mobile robot, combining AI and groundbreaking interaction models. Carter Pro creates a new, more accessible path to scale and ROI via collaborative productivity.

Carter Pro uses AI that understands the world alongside novel robot hardware for tactile interaction. “Carter Pro is aware of its environment and people around it in a way no other robot is, and its AI makes it responsive to circumstances in a way that makes sense to people working with or near the robot. These robots do not replace humans but support them in their work acting as people need them to,” says Co-Founder and CTO Rodney Brooks.

AI-driven action and data collection power Carter Pro’s continuous improvement engine. Physical AI informs and guides the robot, translating data inputs into action and learning for current –and future – workflows and scenarios. With the robot understanding its surroundings and making navigation decisions based on what it sees, Carter Pro is a good example of an on-the-ground solution impacting business operations, and the people driving them, right now.

Carter Pro takes human-robot interaction and collaboration to a higher, more intuitive level – where Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) on the market have historically fallen short. One of Carter Pro’s defining features is its sense of touch through both active and passive force sensing. Workers can alter the robot’s actions at any time by taking simple, natural measures to physically move the robot like any typical object in the world. They have the ability to take control, in real-time, and have the flexibility to choose when Carter Pro is fully autonomous or truly collaborative.

Having more control increases worker enthusiasm and confidence, helping ensure safety and optimal usage. “Its collaborative aptitude is the X-factor and what excites us the most. We have workers asking, ‘Can I have a turn?’ People improve their ways of working with a responsive partner – whether it’s a robot, another human, or some other solution. It’s about helping people seamlessly execute tasks with less cognitive load, so they can get more done,” says Co-Founder and CEO, Anthony Jules.

Alongside the launch of Carter Pro, Robust.AI is actively deploying solutions with DHL Supply Chain in both the US and Mexico.

“We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with Robust AI and celebrate the launch of their new robot, Carter Pro. This innovative technology exemplifies the strides we are making together in revolutionizing supply chain operations,” says Sally Miller, Global CIO, DHL Supply Chain. “The dynamic nature of the supply chain industry demands constant evolution and adaptation, and robotics play a crucial role in meeting these unique challenges. Our growing relationship with Robust AI underscores our commitment to leveraging flexible solutions that drive efficiency and improve the working environment for our associates.”

Striking a balance of automation and control, Carter Pro unlocks more flexible and scalable picking deployments across business operations. With low-friction set-up and installation, Carter Pro also promotes scalable deployment, less stress on implementation teams, more seamless training processes, and decreased time-to-ROI.
