Robust.AI announced new features for its Carter cobot platform and additional funding.

San Francisco-based AI-driven warehouse automation company Robust.AI has announced upgrades to its flagship Carter platform.

The company said these upgrades transform Carter into a multi-functional offering that serves as a fulfillment picking robot, a point-to-point transport system, and a mobile sorting wall all within the same software-defined platform. With deployments across multiple warehouse operations, the company said this enhanced flexibility allows logistics customers to streamline operations, reduce costs, optimize workflows and adapt quickly to shifting warehouse demands without requiring additional hardware investments.

Ongoing Carter deployments fueled upgrades

In 2024, Robust.AI partnered with DHL Supply Chain to deploy Carter across multiple warehouse locations. After completing a recent deployment in Las Vegas, Nev., Robust.AI said Carter delivered more than 60% productivity gains to existing picking operations on day one. The company said that its partnership with DHL continues to expand. 

“We believe robots should empower people, not replace them. Carter is designed to be intuitive and responsive, enabling effortless human interaction,” said Anthony Jules, co-founder and CEO of Robust.AI. “With its expanded functionality, Carter continues to set new standards for efficiency, adaptability, and ease-of-use in modern warehouse environments.”

In addition to the Carter news, Robust.AI recently raised a funding round with participation from APL Ventures and Japan’s 15th Rock. The company said the funding will help its expansion, strengthen partnerships and accelerate development of next-generation collaborative robotics for the supply chain industry.
