MIT News AI Says Robust AI’s Carter Robot Is Already Working in Warehouses and Factories

According to MIT News AI, Robust AI’s mobile robot Carter is already deployed in logistics warehouses and on factory floors. The cart-like robot uses a force-sensitive handlebar, an AI vision system and holonomic wheels, letting workers steer it by hand, gestures or a touchscreen. The company says Carter is designed to complement human labor in picking, stocking and moving items across large facilities. Co-founders Anthony Jules and Rodney Brooks argue that success depends on how people, robots and backend systems work together.
