RGo Robotics Perception Engine will power the Pyxis robot from Onward Robotics.

RGo Robotics, a provider of AI-powered, location-aware artificial perception platforms, announced that its Perception Engine will power the Pyxis robot from Onward Robotics.

This partnership enables humans and robots to interact in fulfillment and distribution centers, providing breakthrough throughput and rapid return on investment.

Perception Engine and Pyxis partnership

RGo's vision and AI offering for localization, obstacle detection and scene understanding achieves highly consistent accuracy, according to the company. It can operate reliably in challenging environments like narrow, repetitive aisles in fulfillment centers where robots need to travel in close proximity to shelving units and humans.

With Perception Engine, Onward's Pyxis platform can provide uninterrupted operations of its fleet of robots, delivering breakthrough productivity and customer satisfaction. Onward Robotics is a Pittsburgh-based organization that rebranded from IAM Robotics in 2023.

"I'm proud our team met Onward's stringent requirements for a highly reliable solution that works effectively in dynamic environments with low error rates and high uptime," said Amir Bousani, co-founder and CEO of RGo Robotics. "It demonstrates the high reliability of our 3D vision & AI perception technology and shows it's ready for prime time."

Additionally, RGo Perception Engine gives Onward the ability to quickly and easily set up new customer sites with a robot fleet in just hours, shortening time-to-value and reducing deployment costs. RGo's Perception Engine dynamically adapts to changes in the environment, eliminating disruptive re-mapping when layout changes occur.

"Onward Robotics is set to revolutionize fulfillment and distribution center automation by optimizing humans and robots for continuous, rapid fulfillment," said Lance VandenBrook, CEO of Onward Robotics. "Flexible and adaptable perception is critical for achieving business success. Working with RGo allowed us to release our solution in record time while our team focused on core differentiating features."
