Robust.AI Partners with O'Neill Logistics to Deploy 24 Carter Robots

Robust.AI has announced a partnership with O'Neill Logistics to deploy 24 Carter™ collaborative mobile robots across two major distribution centers located in Monroe, New Jersey and Savannah, Georgia.

Scheduled to go live in Q4 2026, the deployment will support retail, direct-to-consumer, and omnichannel fulfillment operations across O'Neill Logistics’ expansive network of nearly 2 million square feet of distribution space.

Robust.AI’s Carter robots are engineered to automate repetitive material handling workflows, reduce non-productive walking for warehouse associates, and accelerate order fulfillment cycles without requiring costly fixed infrastructure modifications on the warehouse floor.

Operating as software-defined collaborative systems, the Carter platforms support key warehouse operations including order fulfillment picking, point-to-point transport, and mobile sorting, giving 3PL managers the flexibility to adapt robotic tasks to shifting volume demands.

Stephen Reilly, Director of Industrial Engineering at O'Neill Logistics, stated:

"We needed automation that would make our associates more productive without adding complexity to the floor. Robust.AI's system-directed picking, light-directed putting, and the ability to run a lean fleet gave us everything we were looking for. We're confident this is the right platform to grow with as our business scales across both sites."

The commercial deployment utilizes Robust.AI’s Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) subscription framework, allowing O'Neill Logistics to rapidly integrate autonomous platforms and dynamically scale robotic capacity based on client demand.

Anthony Jules, Co-founder and CEO of Robust.AI, stated:

"At Robust.AI, we build automation that works for people, not just around them. O'Neill Logistics has built its reputation on engineering smarter supply chains for its customers. Carter is designed to slot into exactly that kind of dynamic, high-velocity environment, delivering productivity gains from day one while empowering the people on the floor."

This strategic collaboration underscores the broader momentum surrounding AI-driven collaborative mobile robots across modern logistics, enabling third-party logistics operators to drive operational scalability, throughput, and workforce efficiency.
