Cartken, a leading autonomous robotics company, has launched the Cartken Hauler, an innovative robot designed to automate material handling in both indoor and outdoor environments. With its advanced AI-powered technology, the Hauler offers unmatched all-terrain mobility, high payload capacity, and rapid deployment, making it ideal for industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, distribution centers, corporate campuses, and life sciences. This launch marks Cartken’s expansion into industrial and onsite logistics, addressing the need for seamless automation across complex, mixed settings.
Key Highlights:
- Seamless operation in mixed indoor and outdoor environments
- All-terrain capability, handling surfaces like gravel, grass, and carpet
- High payload capacity of up to 660 lbs
- Operates in all weather conditions and lighting
- Integrates with existing systems like elevators and doors
- Rapid deployment within 7 days without infrastructure changes
- Flexible cargo options, including temperature-controlled compartments
The Cartken Hauler stands out for its ability to tackle challenges that traditional mobile robots, such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), often cannot. AGVs rely on fixed paths and require significant infrastructure, while AMRs, though more flexible, are typically limited to indoor settings and struggle with uneven terrain or weather-exposed areas. In contrast, the Hauler navigates diverse surfaces—gravel, asphalt, carpet—and operates reliably in rain, snow, or extreme temperatures from -4°F to 122°F.
With a top speed of 4.5 mph, a zero-point turning radius, and omni-directional steering, the Hauler can carry 660 lbs on flat surfaces or 550 lbs on 10° slopes. It runs for over 16 hours on a single charge, recharging in just 4 hours. Its flexible cargo options include temperature-controlled compartments maintaining -112°F to +212°F, ideal for sensitive materials.
“Today’s intralogistics operations demand adaptable solutions. Cartken Hauler delivers,” said Christian Bersch, CEO and Co-Founder of Cartken. The robot’s rapid, infrastructure-free deployment—fully operational in 7 days—sets it apart, integrating seamlessly into existing workflows.
Cartken, founded by former Google engineers, leverages its expertise in self-driving technology to redefine logistics.
