Fetch Robotics is now owned by Skild AI. Zebra Technologies acquired Fetch Robotics in 2021, announced a wind-down of the autonomous mobile robot division in December 2025, and sold that business to Skild AI on April 15, 2026. Skild AI supports the installed base and continues to sell the Fetch robots described below; its fleet orchestration software is called Symmetry Fulfillment. No successor name has been announced for the robot line itself, so the products below keep their Fetch names. The Fetch line covers autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and a cloud-based robotics platform for warehouse automation at 3PLs and distribution centers. Fetch Robotics was founded in 2014 and based in San Jose, California, and built a portfolio of material transport solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing warehouse operations without requiring infrastructure modifications. What sets the Fetch line apart is its combination of advanced autonomous navigation technology with the FetchCore cloud robotics platform, enabling drag-and-drop workflow setup and 24/7 material movement operations. Their diverse robot fleet, ranging from the 125-600lb CartConnect units to the heavy-duty PalletTransport1500 capable of handling up to 2,500lbs, provides scalable automation solutions for picking operations, line replenishment, putaway, pallet movement, and cross-docking applications.
Perfect for
- High-volume 3PLs and fulfillment centers processing thousands of orders daily
- Distribution centers requiring flexible material handling without infrastructure changes
- E-commerce operations seeking to reduce labor costs and improve picking efficiency
- Warehouses with dynamic workflows that need adaptable automation solutions
Key strengths
- No infrastructure modifications required - robots work within existing warehouse layouts
- Comprehensive safety features with 360-degree visibility and dynamic obstacle avoidance
- Drag-and-drop workflow configuration through user-friendly FetchCore platform
- Diverse robot portfolio supporting loads from 125lbs to 2,500lbs for various applications
- 24/7 failsafe operation maintains productivity even during wireless connectivity issues
- Seamless integration with human workers in shared warehouse environments
Considerations
- Higher initial investment compared to traditional material handling equipment
- Requires staff training on robotics platform and workflow management
- Limited to indoor warehouse environments and specific floor surface requirements
- Dependency on wireless connectivity for optimal cloud platform functionality
About Skild AI
The Fetch line delivers autonomous mobile robot solutions for material handling at 3PLs, fulfillment centers, and distribution facilities. Fetch Robotics was founded in 2014 in San Jose and focused on creating intelligent robotics solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing warehouse environments without requiring costly infrastructure overhauls.
Comprehensive AMR Portfolio
The Fetch product lineup addresses diverse material handling needs through specialized autonomous mobile robots. The CartConnect series handles loads from 125-600 pounds, making it ideal for case picking and general material transport. The FlexShelf robot optimizes picking operations by bringing inventory directly to workers, significantly reducing travel time and increasing productivity. For facilities requiring conveyor-like flexibility, the RollerTop AMR provides dynamic material flow capabilities. At the heavy-duty end, the PalletTransport1500 manages loads up to 2,500 pounds, supporting pallet movement, cross-docking, and waste removal operations.
Advanced Navigation and Safety
Safety and reliability are central to the Fetch design. The autonomous navigation system provides 360-degree visibility through advanced sensors that detect people and obstacles in real-time. The robots feature dynamic obstacle avoidance, overhang detection, and ground obstacle detection capabilities, ensuring safe operation in busy warehouse environments where humans and machines work side by side. This comprehensive safety approach eliminates hazardous blind spots and reduces accident risks.
FetchCore Cloud Platform
The FetchCore cloud robotics platform serves as the central nervous system for the Fetch AMR fleet. This intuitive, drag-and-drop interface simplifies workflow setup and robot coordination, enabling warehouse managers to deploy and modify automation processes without extensive technical expertise. The platform supports 24/7 material movement operations and includes failsafe functionality that maintains robot operation even during wireless connection interruptions, ensuring continuous productivity.
Target Applications and Use Cases
The Fetch solutions suit high-volume fulfillment operations where consistent material movement is critical. Common applications include e-commerce fulfillment centers managing thousands of daily orders, 3PL facilities serving multiple clients with varying requirements, and distribution centers focused on rapid inventory turnover. The robots particularly shine in operations requiring flexible automation that can adapt to changing workflows, seasonal demand fluctuations, and evolving customer requirements.
