MIT News profiles Robust AI's collaborative warehouse robots
Start here
MIT News profiled Robust AI, a startup co-founded by MIT Professor Emeritus Rodney Brooks, whose mobile robot Carter is built to work alongside warehouse and factory staff rather than replace them. Carter has a force-sensitive handlebar, an AI-powered vision system and holonomic wheels, so a worker can push, pull or redirect it with one hand or a gesture. The robots are already deployed in logistics warehouses and on factory floors, where they help with picking, stocking and moving items, according to MIT News.
