Robust.AI Expands Carter’s Collaborative Robotics Capabilities to Power Multi-Function Warehouse Automation

Company delivers more than 60% productivity gain to DHL within first weeks of deployment; adds new investors to accelerate robotics innovation

San Francisco, CA - April 23, 2025 - Robust.AI, a leader in AI-driven warehouse automation, announced upgrades to its flagship Carter™ platform, transforming it into a multi-functional solution 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, 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.


Founded with the mission to create AI-powered robots that work with and for people, Robust.AI integrates this philosophy into its Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. Customers only begin payments once jointly defined performance metrics are met, ensuring immediate ROI and seamless adoption.

"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."

Last year, Robust.AI partnered with DHL Supply Chain to deploy Carter across multiple warehouse locations. After completing a recent deployment in Las Vegas, NV, Carter delivered more than 60% productivity gains to existing picking operations on day-one. The DHL partnership continues to expand as Robust.AI deepens its commitment to revolutionizing logistics automation and workforce augmentation.

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