Robust.AI Partners With Foxconn to Accelerate and Scale Manufacturing of Carter Warehouse Automation Robots
To help meet increasing international customer demand faster and cost effectively SAN FRANCISCO & TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- a leader in AI-driven warehouse automation, today announced a strategic manufacturing partnership with Hon Hai Technology Group ("Foxconn") (TWSE:2317), the world's largest electronics manufacturing services provider, to expand production of its flagship Carter™ multi-function collaborative robotics platform. The partnership will enable to rapidly fulfill increasing demand from its growing international customer base and strengthen the resilience of its supply chain and manufacturing operations. According to a recent Global Market Insights report, the warehouse automation market is forecasted to grow from $26.5 billion in 2024 to $115.8 billion by 2034 – a CAGR of 15.9%. However, 80% of warehouses lack any automation – not even a conveyor belt according to ResearchandMarkets. While AI is poised to create efficiencies in many industries, labor-intensive jobs in logistics and manufacturing require improvements in both physical capabilities and digital intelligence. Designed to augment existing warehouse operations and workforce, Carter's drop-in automation capabilities help global manufacturing and logistics providers achieve significant productivity gains. Its collaborative, software-defined functionality allows facilities to dynamically switch functions between fulfillment picking, point-to-point transport, or a mobile sorting wall. This unprecedented flexibility enables customers to easily adapt to changing needs and workflows without additional infrastructure costs. recently announced that its Carter fleet deployment at a DHL Supply Chain facility in Las Vegas, NV, delivered more than 60% productivity gains to existing picking operations within weeks of implementation. "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 fulfill orders for Carter robots, which are delivering improved productivity and efficiency to some of the world's largest logistics and manufacturing companies," said Anthony Jules, CEO of "Foxconn's unparalleled global manufacturing capabilities make it one of the most trusted partners for advanced manufacturing in the world. Our combined robotics expertise will help multinational companies rapidly and cost-effectively streamline their logistics and warehousing operations and augment existing workforces with collaborative robotic automation solutions." "Foxconn is pleased to expand its manufacturing partnership with and help accelerate and scale the production of its innovative Carter robotics platform worldwide," said Bob Deng, EVP at Foxconn. "Our close collaboration at the onset of Carter's development has contributed to the maturity, scalability and reliability of the platform and its manufacturing processes, allowing customers to confidently invest in unique warehouse automation solution and see immediate improvement in their warehousing and logistics capabilities."
