Fetch Robotics, now part of Zebra Technologies, develops autonomous mobile robots powered by artificial intelligence for warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing environments. Fetch Robotics was founded in 2014 by Melonee Wise in San Jose, California, and was acquired by Zebra Technologies in 2022 for approximately $290 million. The company's robots are now integrated into Zebra's broader portfolio of enterprise automation solutions, operating under the Zebra Technologies brand while maintaining the core Fetch robot platform. The Fetch Robotics product line includes a range of autonomous mobile robots designed for material transport, data collection, and workflow automation in industrial facilities. The product lineup includes the Freight series of autonomous transport robots capable of carrying payloads ranging from 500 to 1,500 kilograms, designed for moving materials between locations in warehouses and factories without manual intervention. The robots use onboard lidar, cameras, and AI-based navigation algorithms for autonomous path planning, obstacle avoidance, and dynamic rerouting around people and objects in busy environments. Fetch also produces the TagSurveyor and CartConnect robots, which specialize in automated inventory scanning and cart-based material movement respectively. The company's FetchCore cloud robotics platform provides centralized fleet management, allowing operators to schedule tasks, monitor robot status, analyze performance metrics, and optimize workflows across multiple robots and facilities from a single interface. FetchCore uses AI and analytics to identify efficiency improvements and balance workloads across the robot fleet. The robots integrate with existing warehouse management systems, enterprise resource planning software, and other industrial IT infrastructure through standard APIs and connectors. Now under Zebra Technologies, the Fetch robot platform benefits from integration with Zebra's existing ecosystem of barcode scanners, RFID systems, mobile computers, and workforce management software, providing a more comprehensive automation solution for industrial customers.
