About

About Sherpa Mobile Robotics

Sherpa Mobile Robotics designs autonomous mobile robots for factory and warehouse material flow. Its SHERPA-B, SHERPA-P, SHERPA-D and SHERPA-F platforms move bins, dollies and pallets using autonomous navigation, fleet coordination and workflow interfaces.

The company supports both autonomous and follow-me operating modes across its range. Payload handling and load interface differ by model, allowing customers to automate distinct transport tasks without treating the family as one interchangeable vehicle.
