Bear Robotics

Bear Robotics is a United States company that builds autonomous mobile robots for hospitality and logistics. Its robots carry food and goods, plan routes across several units at once and work together as a coordinated fleet. The company says it engineers its robots in Silicon Valley. The site describes the robots as compact by design and built for real service.

Service robots

• Q: A compact robot fleet that replaces larger units, with real-time path planning across different product lines and a passage width of 18 inches minimum.
• Restaurant robot: A high-capacity AMR that carries more than 16 entrees and up to 88 lbs for multi-table deliveries, and it can climb ramps.
• Kinisi: A wheeled humanoid that picks, places and sorts, now part of the Bear group.

Q is built to navigate narrow paths, and the site says it can deliver liquids through thresholds and during sudden stops. The restaurant robot also lights up each entree to enhance the order.

Warehouse and logistics

The site describes AMR automation from point-to-point transport to line-side replenishment. Its modular warehouse AMR can carry customisable shelves and conveyor belts for heavy-duty tasks in low-profile settings. Robots communicate peer to peer, which the company says removes dependence on a central network and reduces congestion. The company presents its robots as suited to both restaurant floors and warehouse aisles, and describes Kinisi as working alongside the fleet as one coordinated team. The company frames this AMR work as a way to speed up return on investment.
