Robust.AI will engage in the Forum’s Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains
SAN CARLOS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#automation—Robust.AI, the company transforming how robots collaborate with people, was selected as a distinguished Technology Pioneer within the World Economic Forum’s Innovator Communities.
The World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneers are early-stage companies at the forefront of new technologies and innovation and poised to have a significant impact on business and society. As a member of the Innovator Communities, Robust.AI will engage in the Forum’s Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains and contribute to the Centre’s goal of enabling more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive manufacturing ecosystems and supply chains.
“We’re excited to welcome Robust.AI to the 2024 cohort of Technology Pioneers,” said Verena Kuhn, Head of Innovator Communities at the World Economic Forum. “Robust.AI and its fellow pioneers are at the forefront of innovation to help our community solve some of the most pressing business and society challenges in the world. We look forward to their contribution to the Forum’s work to tackle these global issues.”
Warehouse, logistics, and 3PL facilities are dynamic environments with frequent workflow changes based on a variety of factors such as shopping seasonality and product variety. Robust.AI’s first Collaborative Mobile Robot, Carter, is autonomous when operators want it to be and collaborative when doing so can be even more productive. Carter works with and around people without changing the environment and optimizes workflows to increase the engagement and productivity of people.
“We are honored to be recognized as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. This prestigious award validates our commitment to innovation and leadership in the field of robotics,” said Anthony Jules, CEO and co-founder of Robust.AI. “It also underscores the importance of true collaboration between robots and workers – where human-robot collaboration is both more productive and more rewarding for workers. For too long, workers were deemed little more than robot obstacles. That needs to change, and we are on a mission to do just that.”
