About Slip Robotics

Slip Robotics automates trailer loading with mobile platforms that carry freight into and out of standard trucks. SlipBot travels with loads on closed-loop shuttle routes, while SlipLift picks up configurable carriers, enters a trailer autonomously, places the carrier and returns to serve another dock door.

The systems need no fixed dock changes or Wi-Fi connection. Slip supplies them through a robots-as-a-service package that includes platforms, software, peripherals, training, maintenance and repairs, with payload configurations extending from pallets and parcels to oversized industrial loads.
