Brightpick Autopicker is the only mobile robot in the world that robotically picks and consolidates orders directly in the warehouse aisles. The robot is like a human with a cart, autonomously picking and consolidating orders as it moves through the warehouse aisles.

Its patented two-tote design enables Brightpick Autopicker to both retrieve product storage totes from shelving and robotically pick items into an order tote. In contrast to other automated fulfillment systems, Brightpick Autopicker does not need to travel back and forth to centralized picking stations; this means the robots can pick and consolidate orders faster, which increases efficiency and throughput. Brightpick Autopicker can reliably pick ambient and chilled groceries, packaged goods, cosmetics, electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, polybagged apparel and more.

Brightpick Autopicker is fully patented and powered by proprietary machine vision and artificial intelligence. Its advanced AI algorithms have been trained on more than 500 million picks to date and use machine learning to improve with each pick.

The robot also comes with Goods-to-Person (G2P) capabilities for heavy or oddly-shaped items, and autonomously finds the nearest human picking station to complete a pick if needed. In addition to order picking, Brightpick Autopickers can also autonomously replenish and put away inventory.

Brightpick robots work with standard shelving and totes, enabling fast deployment and easy integration with any warehouse environment, including existing operations and mezzanines. Unlike other solutions such as shuttle (such as Exotec) and cube AS/RS (such as Autostore), Brightpick robots do not need any fixed infrastructure, grids or conveyors to operate. As such, the robots serve as an attractive shuttle, Exotec and Autostore alternative.

  • Intelligent coordination is a thing of infinite beauty. The opportunistic charging is especially piquant. Well presented by the legend that is Mary.

    It's good to see some honesty. She said they would help you to meet your customer's expectations with as little effort and as little PEOPLE as possible. Usually, they try to say that robots won't do away with your job but rather they are just there to work alongside the employee to make them more productive. Of course, we all know that is just silly. Nevertheless, that is evidently the future right?

    4:26 That Robot at the bottom be like "Bro, you're done.. Get out the way!" :)
  • @dsp4392
    Absolutely fantastic presentation style. Just the right balance of casual and professional.
  • @Pillazo
    Super cool! Love to see all the different technologies packaged up like this, robotics, lidar, path planning and cameras and such, really cool!
  • Very interesting. A future video on the economic feasibility at the small scale would be interesting. E.g. what are the lower constraints that still result in ROI.
  • @NowayJose14
    Would love to see Digit working with these
  • @johnjuan312
    Would like to see your solution: 1) picking apparel and similar softgoods, 2) picking books (if doable), and 3) consolidating order totes (when everything that is picked for an order spans >1 order tote). Thanks.

    @brightpick This was a very clear demonstration of your product ! I'm curious to understand wich part of the automation is AI driven ? Is it the navigation, automapping and pathfinding ? The dynamic slotting ? How is it AI and not handwritten program/algorithm that simply do what they are told to ? For exemple sorting by sell frequencies and associating with sorted postion by travel time is not AI... Not criticising, just very entusiasm to learn and understand in what this AI that we see and hear verywhere is a breaktrough
  • @kurtkohl151
    that's a really well thought out system and Im a hard grader.
  • @jatigre1
    I've always envisioned a wireless charging method for pickers, so there's really no down time. The pickers can drive over an induction coil mat, placed in the isles and traffic paths, reducing the weight in batteries and minimizing any need to stop operations.
  • @boele0707
    Nice system!! Super interesting tech! @brightpickAI, why do the scanner and picking arm not move up and down with the boxes so that the boxes have less travel time?
  • @TerryPullen
    At the G2P station, both totes look the same, what keeps the human from picking from the wrong tote?
  • @MiklasKroager
    @brightpickAI is it possible to use other totes than the default ones? We work with flower bulb products that needs a tote that allows the product to release moisture and to get fresh air from our ventilation system
  • @anneboinavinay
    Is the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure sufficient for connecting the robots? Any challenges there we should be aware off
  • @gregaustin8114
    How does this pick large items that won’t fit in a tote?
