Reflex Robot, developed by Reflex Robotics (U.S., founded 2022), is a wheeled mobile manipulator platform designed for high-performance material handling and logistics tasks. The robot features a torso mounted on a stable wheeled base and two dexterous arms capable of moving vertically to pick items from shelves or the ground. It offers a payload capacity of over 50 lbs (approximately 22.7 kg) collectively, with each arm capable of lifting more than 25 lbs (11.34 kg), roughly twice the strength of a human arm. The wheeled design provides superior stability, maneuverability with zero-degree turns, and a compact footprint under 2 ft x 2 ft (0.61 m x 0.61 m), allowing it to navigate dynamic warehouse environments safely and efficiently. Reflex Robotics emphasizes teleoperation, enabling human operators to control the robot remotely from thousands of miles away, which allows immediate handling of complex and unpredictable tasks. The system is designed to learn from human demonstrations, paving the way for future AI-driven autonomy. Early pilot programs, including collaborations with GXO Logistics, have demonstrated the robot’s effectiveness in omni-channel fulfillment, tote transfers, and product picking, with rapid deployment times of under an hour. Reflex Robotics is backed by experienced founders with backgrounds at Boston Dynamics, Tesla, and Oculus, and has raised $7 million in funding led by Khosla Ventures.
