LocusONE™: Physical AI Meets Warehouse Intelligence

Agentic AI for the Warehouse

The AI “Black Box” is no more. Modern Agentic AI is built on the fusion of Large Data with Deep Domain Expertise. At Locus, we combined years of warehouse experience with the data from thousands of deployed robots to build LocusONE™, our Agentic AI system for the warehouse. Hardened through almost 6 billion real-world picks, LocusONE™ seamlessly coordinates people, robots, and workflows for unmatched flexibility and efficiency, delivering real-world ROI in every aisle. 

With every pick, LocusONE™ grows smarter. LocusONE™ vertically integrates proprietary advances in AI and Hardware, allowing it to expand over time to automate more workflows and manage more SKUs across the warehouse. LocusONE™ gives our customers lasting access to a solution that becomes more capable–and more valuable–over time through our ongoing investments in AI and Robotics.

Onboard AI that Optimizes Every Move and Every Pick.

All three Locus robots–Locus Origin, Locus Vector, and Locus Array–leverage the industry’s most robust autonomy stack. With advanced sensors and visual perception, our robots safely navigate complex environments and execute tasks with precision. To date, Locus robots have traveled more than 150 million miles in production at hundreds of warehouses worldwide. Our newest robot, Array, goes even further, combining Locus’s proven autonomy with AI-based grasping, motion planning, and control for fully autonomous, zero-touch picking.

Real-world applications of Locus AI include:

•  
• Vision-based Awareness And Obstacle Avoidance: Proprietary vision and obstacle-detection AI agents enable our robots to anticipate, sense, and intelligently avoid obstructions. This ensures smooth, reliable navigation in dynamic, high-density warehouse picking environments. Locus robots are unmatched in their ability to navigate safely and confidently alongside people, forklifts, and other equipment.
•  
• Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM): Advanced mapping algorithms generate highly reliable, robust maps of the warehouse, enabling consistent navigation, adaptability to layout changes, and operational flexibility.
•  
• AI-based Manipulation And Vision Picking: Our picking agent is purpose-built to run on a mobile base. We combined vision and robotics foundation models with proprietary data to build an AI picking solution that’s optimized for Array, learning from every pick to become smarter and more capable over time.

System-Wide Intelligence

Warehouse Orchestration. 24/7 Optimization.

Beyond the AI on board each robot, LocusONE™ delivers system-wide intelligence through proprietary AI agents–made from algorithms and foundational models–that orchestrate orders, optimize fleet performance, and synchronize labor for maximum throughput.

Selected highlights of Locus AI in action:

•  
• Mission Optimization: Intelligent algorithms optimize tasks from any WMS, clustering work to boost density, shorten cycle times, and maximize efficiency. Extended capabilities dynamically allocate tasks across workflows (picking, putaway, transport, returns, etc.) and robot types (Locus Origin, Locus Vector, and Locus Array).
•  
• System Directed Labor: Our patent-pending AI agent coordinates people and robots in real time, uniquely balancing the flow of workers, robots, and orders. Associates receive intuitive UI prompts guiding them to their next optimal task, maximizing both labor productivity and robot utilization.
•  
• Advanced Simulation: At Locus, we develop high-fidelity simulations with cyber-physical modeling that captures real-world dynamics like human–robot interactions, obstacle avoidance, mixed fleet dynamics, and layout changes. This enables optimal fleet sizing, more accurate ROI forecasts, and design validation before deployment—reducing risk and accelerating time-to-value.

Building Warehouse Foundation Models to Deliver ROI Today

Locus Robotics is investing deeply into robotics and AI research. We are building AI agents that allow us to stay at the forefront of innovation, unlock new capabilities in the warehouse, and deliver ROI to our customers today–all while building towards an Agentic AI future.

A glimpse into how we are applying AI today:

•  
• AI-based Monocular Vision: Enhanced vision systems will enable Locus robots to identify, track, and navigate using cameras, delivering cost-efficient, high-accuracy perception at scale. Locus is building vision foundation models specifically for the warehouse.
•  
• Mapping Agent: Our proprietary mapping agent integrates next-generation visual SLAM, allowing Locus robots to build context-aware maps that go beyond today’s navigational capabilities. This will enable our robots to understand, adapt, and move even more confidently in the most crowded and dynamic warehouse environments.
•  
• Warehouse-Wide Optimization Agents: With System Directed Labor (SDL), Locus is breaking new ground in warehouse optimization. From using AI to guide your pickers to leveraging LLMs to deliver real-world insights into your warehouse, Locus knows how to deliver AI for your operations.
