At MODEX 2026, Thoro unveiled its latest modular autonomy stack.

CoreFlex, according to the company, is a large-scale, infrastructure-free platform that is capable of supporting multiple types of industrial vehicles.

Equipped with Orbbec’s 3D cameras, Thoro said that CoreFlex delivers significantly enhanced autonomous navigation, pallet handling, and obstacle detection, bringing new levels of efficiency and reliability to industrial automation.

Scalable material handling with cameras and software

Thoro said that CoreFlex integrates high-quality sensors, lightweight autonomy compute and standardized plug-and-play interfaces, all unified under its autonomy software, fleet management and cloud platform.

The company said that this full-stack approach lets OEMs accelerate time to market, reduce costs and scale a single autonomy solution across multiple robot types without rebuilding from scratch.

"When sensor performance is exceptional, the software fully delivers on its design intent,” said Patrick Mondi, CEO of Thoro. We commit to providing OEMs worldwide with safe, scalable, and easy-to-use industrial autonomy solutions. Orbbec’s superior hardware and software capabilities give us the confidence to scale applications, and we are excited to expand into new vehicle types and deployment scenarios.”

Thoro said that Orbbec’s Gemini 336 stereo 3D camera is critical to making this versatile architecture a reality, highlighting the following capabilities: 

  • Precise depth perception: Equipped with the MX6800 depth engine, Gemini 336 provides high-quality depth data, enabling smoother navigation and precise pallet handling.
  • Robust performance in complex environments: Enhanced active infrared imaging delivers reliable depth sensing under varying lighting conditions, reflective surfaces and dynamic scenes.
  • Modular compatibility: Compact design and standardized interface perfectly match CoreFlex’s cross-platform architecture.
  • Reliable and consistent: Demonstrates high consistency across deployments, reducing edge-case failures and ensuring operational efficiency.

“CoreFlex demonstrates the tremendous potential of modular autonomous systems,” said Brad Suessmith, robotics sales manager at Orbbec. “The chip-level depth sensing capability of Orbbec enables CoreFlex to achieve stable and efficient autonomous operations even in complex warehouse environments. We look forward to accelerating the industry’s shift toward intelligent, automated operations together.”
