Robust.AI builds collaborative warehouse robots (Carter) engineered around computer vision, perception, and real-time autonomy—the stack leans heavily on embedded C/C++, Linux, and GCP with robotics-grade tooling (STM32, CAD, LabVIEW). The project list and pain-point pattern reveal an organization focused on fleet reliability at customer sites: debugging autonomy failures, reducing downtime, and validating perception under real-world warehouse variability dominate near-term work. Hiring skews senior and engineering-heavy, indicating they're scaling operational depth rather than headcount.
Robust.AI designs and deploys mobile robots for warehouse and 3PL operations, launched in 2019 from a world-class robotics team. The core product, Carter, handles picking, putaway, and value-added tasks while operating alongside human workers. Deployment model prioritizes minimal infrastructure change—the robot integrates with existing warehouse systems without requiring major overhaul. The company operates at 51–200 employees, headquartered in San Carlos, California, and is currently expanding robot fleets at early-stage customer sites while running a dedicated reliability and testing program.
Embedded C/C++, Python, Linux, STM32 microcontrollers, CAD/Solidworks, LabVIEW for testing, GCP for cloud services, and robotics-grade tooling (CMake, UART, I2C, CAN).
Next-generation warehouse robotic systems, fleet deployment at customer sites, reliability testing and uptime programs, computer vision for real-world perception, and a safety and compliance roadmap.
