Locus Robotics is an e-commerce fulfillment robotics company located in Wilmington, Massachusetts. Locus Robotics develops autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that operate collaboratively with human workers to improve piece-handling productivity, with less labor than traditional picking systems.
Locus Robotics’ AMRs help retailers, 3PLs, and specialty warehouses efficiently meet and exceed the increasingly complex and demanding requirements of fulfillment environments, integrating into existing warehouse infrastructures without disrupting workflows and transforming productivity without transforming the warehouse.
Locus Robotics was founded in 2014 by Bruce Welty and Rick Faulk.
