LocusBot at United States
Locus Robotics (Wilmington, Massachusetts) is a warehouse-automation company whose LocusBots are collaborative goods-to-person picking AMRs that work alongside human pickers, delivered on a Robots-as-a-Service subscription model via the LocusONE platform. The registry records it at commercial maturity: it operates across 150+ customers and 350+ sites in 20 countries, having surpassed 6 billion cumulative picks by October 2025 (accelerating, with DHL Supply Chain a marquee customer). It raised a $117 million Series F at a roughly $2 billion valuation in 2022 (a point-in-time figure). In April 2026 it launched Locus Array, a mobile-manipulation system extending the line from collaborative picking toward fully autonomous fulfillment. Pick-count and fleet figures are company-reported.
