Problem
Many businesses face challenges in efficiently and cost-effectively transporting goods within a limited radius, especially for last-mile delivery, campus logistics, and internal transport in factories or warehouses. Existing solutions often require significant labor, lack flexibility, or are not suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

These robots utilize multi-sensor technology and AI-powered navigation to safely and efficiently transport items within a 3-mile radius. Cartken's robots can be quickly deployed without requiring infrastructure changes, adapting to dynamic environments and adjusting routes in real-time. The robots are available in different models with customizable form factors and payload capacities to suit various use cases, from last-mile delivery to internal logistics in manufacturing facilities and cold-chain transport for labs. By automating material flow, Cartken helps businesses reduce labor costs, improve operational efficiency, and redeploy human labor to higher-value tasks.
