Overview

Ati Motors is an Indian autonomous-mobile-robot company that builds the Sherpa line of AMRs for heavy-payload industrial material movement in factories and warehouses. The Sherpa XT is an autonomous electric tugger that pulls trolley payloads up to 2,000 kg using natural 3D LiDAR navigation, requiring no infrastructure changes such as magnetic tape or floor guidance wires. It operates on a swappable 48V NMC lithium-ion battery providing 8 hours of runtime and is suited for both indoor and outdoor industrial environments.
