Robust AI's Carter robots designed to work alongside humans in warehouses and factories

Robust AI, co-founded by MIT Professor Emeritus Rodney Brooks, has built a mobile robot called Carter that is designed to complement human workers in warehouses and factories rather than replace them. Carter features a force-sensitive handlebar, an AI-powered vision system, and holonomic wheels, so workers can push, pull, or redirect it with one hand or by gesture. The robots are currently deployed in logistics warehouses and on factory floors, helping with picking, stocking, and moving items.
