Robust.AI partners with Foxconn to boost warehouse robotics scale-up




Robust.AI, which specialises in AI-powered automation for warehouse environments, has partnered with Hon Hai Technology Group, better known as Foxconn, to boost production of its Carter collaborative robotics system.

The partnership will allow Robust.AI to meet a growing international demand. Foxconn, an electronics manufacturing services provider, will  scale-up Carter, the Robust.AI’s flagship robotics platform.

Carter is designed as a drop-in solution that integrates with existing warehouse infrastructure, aiming to support both operational efficiency and the human workforce.

The platform offers a blend of physical automation and digital intelligence to address challenges faced by logistics and manufacturing firms.

Anthony Jules, CEO of Robust.AI, said: “As shifting supply chains and international tariffs add complexity and costs to global logistics operations, our strategic manufacturing partnership with Foxconn will enable us to rapidly fulfil orders for Carter robots, which are delivering improved productivity and efficiency to some of the world’s largest logistics and manufacturing companies.”

Robust.AI: Advancing Collaborative Warehouse Robotics

  • Carter™ Platform Enhancements: In April 2025, Robust.AI expanded its Carter™ platform, transforming it into a multi-functional solution capable of fulfillment picking, point-to-point transport, and mobile sorting—all within a single software-defined system. This upgrade allows for streamlined operations and adaptability without additional hardware investments. DHL Supply Chain Partnership: Robust.AI partnered with DHL Supply Chain to deploy Carter robots across multiple warehouse locations. A recent deployment in Las Vegas resulted in over 60% productivity gains in picking operations on the first day. 

  • Recognition by World Economic Forum: In June 2024, Robust.AI was selected as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, acknowledging its innovative approach to human-robot collaboration in warehouse environments. 

Foxconn: Scaling Intelligent Manufacturing with Robotics

  • Collaboration with NVIDIA: Foxconn is working with NVIDIA to build AI factories utilizing the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. This initiative aims to create digital twins for planning and simulating automated production lines, enhancing manufacturing processes and supply chain management. 

  • Partnership with UBTECH: Foxconn has established a strategic partnership with UBTECH Robotics to integrate humanoid robots into its manufacturing processes. The collaboration focuses on tasks such as handling, sorting, gluing, and quality inspection, aiming to improve efficiency and worker safety. Development of Swarm Autonomy Solution: Through its joint venture FARobot, Foxconn introduced the "Swarm Autonomy" solution, a robotic management platform that enables efficient operations by allowing cross-brand robot integration and dynamic task scheduling.

How and why ABB’s spin-off could reshape the robotics industry

Image
  ABB , one of the world’s largest industrial automation companies, is preparing to spin off its “Robotics & Discrete Automation” division into a separate, publicly listed entity. This strategic move aims to sharpen focus and unlock value, potentially altering the dynamics of the global robotics industry. Huge install base ABB’s robotics division boasts a significant presence in industrial automation, with over 500,000 robots installed worldwide. However, ABB perceives limited synergies between its robotics business and other units, such as electrification, motion, and process automation. Peter Voser, chairman of ABB, said: “The board believes listing ABB Robotics as a separate company will optimize both companies’ ability to create customer value, grow and attract talent. “Both companies will benefit from a more focused governance and capital allocation. ABB will continue to focus on its long-term strategy, building on its leading positions in electrification and automation.” ...

South Korea becomes first nation to replace 10% workforce with robots

Image
An annual survey by  World Robotics  2024 unveils that South Korea has emerged as the first nation in robotics adoption, boasting 1,102 robots for every 10,000 employees, a staggering figure that puts it far ahead of other nations. According to the report, the country has replaced 10% of its workforce with robots and its focus on automation underscores a broader shift in workforce strategies worldwide. With robot density nearly double that of Singapore, its closest competitor (770 robots per 10,000 workers), South Korea is setting new benchmarks in using technology to replace human labour in the industrial and service sectors. In comparison, the global average robot density stands at just 162 robots per 10,000 workers, a testament to South Korea’s aggressive  automation strategy . South Korea has become the first country to replace over 10% of its workforce with robots, marking a significant milestone in automation. According to the World Robotics 2024 report by the Inte...
