About RightHand Robotics

RightHand Robotics develops piece-picking systems for warehouse fulfilment. RightPick combines a robot arm, the company's sensorised gripper, vision and AI software to identify, grasp and place varied inventory in goods-to-person and sorting workflows.

The system is deployed as an integrated workcell and connects with warehouse automation and software around it. Its focus is individual-item handling for ecommerce, pharmaceutical and retail operations, with grasp performance tied to the supported object set, presentation and downstream process.
