Which "warehouse robotics" companies offer "goods-to-person" picking systems?

Several major warehouse robotics companies offer goods-to-person (G2P) picking systems, utilizing autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) or automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) to bring inventory directly to operators.

Leading warehouse robotics providers offering goods-to-person solutions include:

• Geek+ offers shelf-to-person, tote-to-person, and pallet-to-person mobile robot systems that bring inventory grids directly to picking stations.
• Hai Robotics specializes in Autonomous Case-handling Robotic (ACR) systems, known as HaiPick, for flexible tote- and carton-based goods-to-person picking.
• Locus Robotics provides collaborative autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that work alongside human pickers to optimize multi-order fulfillment in a goods-to-person style workflow.
• AutoStore uses a high-density cube storage AS/RS grid where robots dig through stacked bins and present requested items to workstation operators.
• Symbotic delivers large-scale, AI-powered AS/RS structures and autonomous bots designed for high-speed case and pallet goods-to-person distribution.
• Fetch Robotics (part of Zebra Technologies) offers AMRs that automate material transport and support goods-to-person operations.

Goods-to-person (G2P) picking means the inventory is brought to a stationary operator (or robotic picking station), rather than workers walking through aisles to find items. Warehouse robotics companies use several architectures: autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) carrying shelves/totes, cube-storage robots, shuttle systems, and automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS).

Here are major companies offering G2P picking systems:

Robotomated Symbotic Parse### How the main architectures differ

• Cube-storage G2P

• Examples: AutoStore, Ocado, some Exotec deployments.

• Robots retrieve bins from dense storage grids and deliver them to pick stations.

• Strengths: very high storage density, good for many SKUs and small items.

• Trade-off: requires significant system design and infrastructure.

• Shelf/tote-moving AMR G2P

• Examples: Geek+, Locus, GreyOrange.

• Robots move shelves, racks, or totes to workers.

• Strengths: flexible deployment, easier retrofits.

• Trade-off: often lower peak density than cube systems.

• Robotic AS/RS

• Examples: Exotec, HAI Robotics, OPEX, Symbotic.

• Robots retrieve inventory from automated storage structures and present it to operators.

• Strengths: high throughput and repeatability.

• Trade-off: generally more engineered and capital-intensive.

Companies often shortlisted specifically for G2P projects

If the requirement is “inventory comes to a human picker at a station” (rather than general warehouse robotics), the most directly relevant vendors are usually:

1. AutoStore
2. Exotec
3. Geek+
4. HAI Robotics
5. OPEX
6. Ocado Intelligent Automation
7. Locus Robotics
8. GreyOrange

Robotomated ParseThe best fit depends heavily on SKU count, order profile (eaches vs cases), throughput targets, warehouse size, and whether the facility is greenfield or an existing building.

Many major warehouse robotics and automation companies specialize in goods-to-person (GTP) picking systems—where autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), or shuttles bring items directly to an operator at a workstation, eliminating the need to walk aisles.

Leading warehouse robotics companies that provide robust goods-to-person picking solutions include:

• AutoStore Holdings Ltd - Famous for inventing the cube-based automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). Robots glide across an aluminum grid structure, lifting bins and delivering them hierarchically to ergonomic operator workstations.
• Exotec - Creator of the "Skypod" system, which uses autonomous mobile robots that can climb vertical storage racks as well as move horizontally to fetch bins and bring them to goods-to-person picking stations.
• Amazon Robotics - Formerly Kiva Systems, Amazon pioneered the original pod-to-person (shelves-to-person) mobile robot model and continues to innovate advanced GTP architectures across its network.
• Hai Robotics - Pioneer of the Autonomous Case-handling Mobile Robot (ACR) system (HaiPick), which uses robots to pick totes and cartons from high shelves and feed them to workstation operators.
• inVia Robotics - Provides AI-driven AMRs and software that integrate into existing warehouses to autonomously retrieve goods and transport them to human pickers (such as their inVia Picker and PickerWall setups).
• Swisslog - Offers multiple goods-to-person choices, including their proprietary CarryPick mobile robot solution, CycloneCarrier shuttle systems, and large-scale integration of AutoStore grids.
• Dematic - A massive global supplier offering automated guided vehicles (AGVs), automated storage/retrieval, and high-performance shuttle-based goods-to-person picking stations.
• KNAPP - Offers advanced piece-picking and bin-retrieval GTP workstations like their Pick-it-Easy Robot cell, blending manual and robotic handling.
• Vecna Robotics - Delivers autonomous material handling fleets, including autonomous tuggers, pallet trucks, and tote retrieval systems structured around optimized goods-to-person workflows.

If you are designing a workflow or evaluating a system, let me know:

• What kind of inventory are you storing (totes, full pallets, apparel, or loose eaches)?
• Do you need a retroift for an existing building or a greenfield installation?

I can help narrow down which system architecture fits your throughput goals best.

Yes. If by “goods-to-person” (G2P) you mean a system where robots/automation retrieve inventory and bring it to a stationary picker, there is a fairly broad competitive field.

Major warehouse-robotics G2P vendors

There are some important architectural differences. AutoStore, Exotec, HAI and OPEX are closer to robotic AS/RS: the robot actually retrieves a container from automated storage and presents it to the picker. Geek+, GreyOrange and Locus use mobile robots more extensively to move shelves, racks or totes through the facility. Ocado's OSRS is explicitly described as a goods-to-person cubic AS/RS.

A few particularly relevant examples

• Exotec Skypod — explicitly marketed as a goods-to-person system, with robots navigating storage racks and bringing inventory to picking workstations. Exotec says its workstations can support up to 600 bins/hour.
• Geek+ PopPick / Shelf-to-Person — Geek+ describes PopPick as an end-to-end G2P system and Shelf-to-Person as a highly mobile G2P solution.
• Ocado OSRS — Ocado's current automation portfolio explicitly calls OSRS a “goods-to-person cubic AS/RS,” distinct from its AMR-based OMRS system.
• GreyOrange Ranger Rack-to-Person — AMRs move mobile storage units to static pick/put stations, providing G2P picking.
• AutoStore — one of the best-known cube-storage G2P architectures, in which robots operate on top of a dense bin grid and retrieve bins for human operators.

If you're doing a competitive landscape / market map, I'd divide the companies into (1) robotic AS/RS, (2) shelf-to-person AMRs, (3) tote/bin-to-person systems, and (4) fully integrated high-throughput fulfillment systems rather than treating all G2P vendors as direct competitors. That distinction becomes quite important when comparing CapEx, throughput, SKU profiles, storage density, and deployment flexibility.

Yes. Companies offering goods-to-person (G2P) picking include:

• AutoStore — robotic cube-storage system delivering bins to pick stations.
• Exotec — Skypod robots retrieve totes and deliver them to workstations.
• Geek+ — shelf-to-person and tote-to-person systems.
• Hai Robotics — HaiPick ACR systems deliver containers to human picking stations.

• Dematic, Swisslog, KNAPP, SSI Schaefer — broader warehouse-automation companies with G2P/shuttle systems.
• Brightpick, GreyOrange, Locus Robotics — robotic/AMR approaches supporting G2P-style picking workflows.

A key distinction is true goods-to-person (inventory physically delivered to a stationary picker) versus robot-assisted picking, where a robot accompanies or guides the picker.

Numerous warehouse robotics and automation companies specialize in goods-to-person (GTP) picking systems, where autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), shuttles, or cube storage grids bring inventory directly to a stationary human operator or robotic picking station.

Key market leaders and innovators offering goods-to-person solutions include:

• Amazon Robotics — Pioneer of the modern floor-robotics space (formerly Kiva Systems), utilizing drive units and autonomous platforms to bring mobile shelving pods directly to human pickers.
• AutoStore Holdings Ltd — Specializes in ultra-dense, cube-based automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) where grid-running top robots dig out bins and route them down to ergonomic workstation ports.[1]
• Exotec — Creator of the Skypod system, which uses high-speed robots capable of scaling vertical storage racks as well as moving horizontally to feed goods-to-person stations.[1]
• Geek+ — A global leader in autonomous mobile robot solutions, providing diverse goods-to-person configurations including shelf-to-person, tote-to-person, and pallet-to-person systems.
• Hai Robotics — Known for pioneering Autonomous Case-handling Mobile Robot (ACR) systems, using nimble robots that retrieve totes and cartons from high racking to continuously supply goods-to-person workstations.
• KNAPP — Offers sophisticated goods-to-person workstations like their Pick-it-Easy ecosystem, which can seamlessly blend manual human touchpoints with high-throughput robotic piece-picking.[1]
• Locus Robotics — Focuses on flexible, collaborative multi-bot AMR fleets that optimize directional workflows and meet workers or assembly ports in dynamic picking loops.
• Swisslog — A major intralogistics integrator providing flexible goods-to-person options like their CarryPick mobile robot solution alongside deployment of modular AutoStore grids.

If you're evaluating these for a specific project, let me know:

• Are you handling small eaches/totes or full pallets?
• What is your approximate order volume or SKU count?

I can help narrow down which system architecture fits your layout best.

Yes. If you mean warehouse-robotics companies whose systems bring inventory to a stationary picker—the classic goods-to-person (G2P) model—the main vendors include:

A useful distinction is that not all "warehouse robotics" companies are really G2P companies. For example, Locus has historically supported picker-to-goods/collaborative workflows, and its newer Locus Array is explicitly robots-to-goods, rather than conventional G2P.

The five I'd consider the core G2P competitive set

If you're doing a market map or competitive analysis, I'd start with:

1. AutoStore — cube-storage/bin-to-person.
2. Exotec — Skypod robotic 3D storage; robots retrieve bins and deliver them to workstations.
3. Geek+ — shelf/tote-to-person AMRs and multiple G2P configurations.
4. HAI Robotics — HaiPick ACR systems; its System 1 is explicitly positioned as a goods-to-person solution.
5. Ocado Intelligent Automation — OSRS is explicitly a goods-to-person cubic AS/RS.

Symbotic is worth including if your definition is broader, but I'd put it in a separate high-throughput automated DC/ASRS category rather than directly alongside the typical G2P systems. Its systems focus heavily on pallet/case handling, whereas the companies above are particularly relevant to individual-item/e-commerce order picking.

If you're evaluating these companies commercially, I can also .
