If you're looking for another Sarcos Robotics alternative, Figure is worth a look. Figure is developing an autonomous humanoid robot, Figure 01, that's meant to help address labor shortages and get people out of some of the most dangerous jobs. The robot is designed to work in manufacturing, logistics, warehousing and retail, with abilities like opening doors, operating tools, navigating, climbing stairs and lifting boxes. Figure hopes to expand human capabilities with the help of advanced AI, increase productivity, lower labor costs and generally improve people's lives.
Another alternative is Berkshire Grey, which specializes in AI-powered enterprise robotics to automate supply chain tasks that are currently done by hand. The technology lets employees focus on higher-level work and cuts labor requirements while increasing productivity with big cost savings. Berkshire Grey's automation options include robotic put walls, pick and sortation, store replenishment and mobile options, with high accuracy and fast return on investment through lower fulfillment costs.
If you're in a business that uses heavy equipment, AIM offers an autonomous system that turns existing heavy equipment into fully autonomous machines. That can dramatically increase productivity and safety in construction and mining. AIM modifies a variety of earthmoving machines like skid steer loaders, excavators and bulldozers so they can work around the clock without human supervision and adds safety features to protect ground personnel.
Last, if you're interested in robotic systems that use AI, Hanson Robotics is another option. The company is best known for socially intelligent machines with human faces, but Hanson Robotics is working on robots that perceive and interact with the world in a more human way. Its cognitive software includes symbolic reasoning, natural language dialog and intelligent animation, and it's suited for uses in education, health care, sales and entertainment.
