Overview
Robust AI was founded in 2019 by cognitive scientist Gary Marcus and roboticist Rodney Brooks to build collaborative warehouse robots. Its Carter cart follows and assists human pickers rather than replacing them, using a mix of learned perception and classical control. The company positions its approach as a more reliable alternative to purely end-to-end machine learning.
