Robust.AI dropped two important — and closely connected — pieces of news last week. The headline grabber was the change in leadership, as longtime CEO Anthony Jules stepped into the chief innovation officer role, with former Fox Robotics CEO Marin Tchakarov taking the chief executive spot.  

Offering increased integration options and AI enhancements, warehouse automation systems give workers an even greater assist.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – The 2026 Robotics Applications Conference (RAC 26), hosted by Robotics 24/7 and Peerless Media, will take place virtually on September 16, 2026, bringing together robotics, manufacturing, warehouse, logistics and supply chain professionals to explore how companies are using robotics to solve real-world operational challenges.

Robotics has evolved from a promising technology into a critical business tool across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture, defense, and beyond. At RoboBusiness 2026, which takes place Oct. 20 and 21 in Santa Clara, Calif., industry leaders will reflect on the breakthroughs that defined the past two decades.

The Fast Company-recognized robotics innovator will share how its AI-powered Carter robot is helping warehouses boost productivity, reduce walking time and deploy automation without major infrastructure investments.

Frontline software fails when it's just a shrunk-down desktop app. Here's how vendors are trying to deliver solutions that get used.

Logistics providers are looking for automation that won’t add complexity to their operations. Robust.AI today said it has partnered with O’Neill Logistics to deploy its Carter collaborative mobile robots at O’Neill’s distribution centers in Monroe, N.J., and Savannah, Ga.

Robust.AI, a provider of AI-driven warehouse automation, announced a partnership with ShipLab, a San Diego-area e-commerce fulfillment and third-party logistics provider, to deploy Carter collaborative mobile robots at ShipLab's Vista, Calif., facility.

Robust.AI this week said that ShipLab will deploy its Carter collaborative mobile robots at ShipLab’s facility in Vista, Calif. ShipLab is a San Diego-area e-commerce fulfillment and third-party logistics provider.

Robust.AI this week said it is using Aptiv PLC’s intelligent perception systems, including AI and machine learning-based sensor fusion powered by the Aptiv PULSE sensor, for its Gen 3 Carter collaborative mobile robot.

Rodney Brooks, founder and chief technology officer of Robust.AI, sits down with Assistant Managing Editor Kerry Dolan to discuss how he came up with the idea of the Roomba vacuum cleaner and the future of robotics.

Robust.AI co-founder & CTO Rodney Brooks, ranked #44 on the Forbes 250 America's Greatest Innovators list, sits down for a Q&A ahead of his panel discussion at the Forbes America Innovates event in San Francisco.

The goal is to eliminate inefficiencies, not automate them. 💥
Any tech for the sake of having tech doesn’t get very far if it isn’t all about the business challenge, the given circumstances of a space, and the people making an operation happen.

“I like to look at what everyone is doing, find some common thing that they’re all assuming implicitly,” Rodney Brooks said, “and negate that thing.”

Rodney’s eighth annual update concerning (1) self driving cars, (2) robotics, AI , and machine learning, and (3) human space travel. His plan being to review at the start of the year every year until 2050 (following his 95^th birthday). The idea was to hold himself accountable for those predictions. How right or wrong was he this time?

“For the first time, I feel like automation is working with us—not at us.”

Because we started small, the team had the chance to build trust with the technology. They saw productivity gains in real time—without disruption.

And later, when it came time to integrate fully, it was their choice. On their terms.
