Locus Robotics builds autonomous mobile robots and the LocusONE orchestration platform for AI-driven warehouse automation, deployed globally in fulfilment operations.
Locus Robotics, founded in 2014 by warehouse operations veterans, builds intelligent warehouse automation solutions using autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that transform fulfillment operations. The company combines deep domain expertise in warehouse logistics with robotics technology, deploying robots that work alongside human associates to optimise picking, putaway, transport and mezzanine management processes. Deployments are global and span third-party logistics, retail and e-commerce, healthcare, industrial manufacturing, and warehousing and fulfilment.
Its technical work spans autonomous mobile robots, AI-driven warehouse automation, data science, fleet orchestration and performance analytics. Two products anchor the engineering effort: LocusONE, a data science-driven orchestration platform providing enterprise-wide fleet management and performance analytics for AMR deployments, and the Locus Autonomous Mobile Robots themselves, which deliver a 2-3x productivity increase for the human associates they support.
Operational scale is substantial. Locus Robotics reports billions of picks completed across its global deployments, and the company places a focus on improving workplace safety alongside human associates. Engineers and data scientists working on these systems engage with problems of fleet coordination, real-time performance analytics and human-robot collaboration at production scale.
