About wheel.me
wheel.me turns existing carts, racks and trolleys into autonomous mobile robots by replacing their conventional castors with powered Genius 2 wheels. The system allows factories and warehouses to automate movement while retaining containers and fixtures already designed around their production or material-handling processes.
Onboard three-dimensional vision and the RGo perception engine support SLAM localisation, obstacle detection and navigation around people and changing layouts. Fleet software assigns missions and coordinates multiple units, while APIs connect movement to manufacturing and warehouse systems. Deployments cover line-side replenishment, work-in-process transport and movement of heavy racks between storage and operating stations.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-09-23 - Partnership - wheel.me partners with item America on autonomous material handling
item America will design modular carts, racks and taxi carriers around each facility’s load and process. The joint offer covers retrofits of suitable existing equipment and newly designed carriers for brownfield or greenfield lines.
Source - 2026-06-17 - Partnership - Chang Robotics and wheel.me renew autonomous cart-retrofit partnership
Genius uses four autonomous wheels, lidar and 3D vision to mobilize existing carts, shelves and fixtures. The relationship began in 2023; under the renewed agreement Chang integrates the system while wheel.me provides support and training. Omnidirectional movement supports confined-space material handling without requiring customers to replace existing equipment.
Source - 2026-02-09 - Deployment - wheel.me and Virtual Manufacturing install first system in Scotland
The installation converts existing carts, racks and trolleys into autonomous transport equipment. Virtual Manufacturing UK will support integration and deployments for Scottish manufacturers. The partners plan demonstrations, case studies and other joint market activity during 2026.
Source - 2025-01-09 - Deployment - wheel.me and LSM automate DB Schenker waste handling in Ireland
wheel.me and LSM automated waste-management transport at a DB Schenker site in Ireland. The deployment used wheel.me autonomous wheels to move waste carts through an operating logistics environment. The project showed wheel.me technology applied to internal material transport beyond standard warehouse picking.
Source - 2024-11-28 - Partnership - wheel.me expands to Japan with Fujitex
Fujitex’s logistics division supports logistics, warehousing and manufacturing customers. The partnership extended wheel.me’s autonomous material-handling channel into Japan.
Source - 2024-01-15 - Commercial Order - wheel.me receives $2.2M autonomous-wheel order
wheel.me received more than $2.2 million in purchase orders from a large North American customer. The orders covered more than 600 Genius robotic wheels in 4- and 8-wheel configurations. The wheels were manufactured and dispatched from wheel.me’s Fredrikstad assembly plant.
Source - 2023-10-19 - Product Launch - wheel.me introduces Genius 2 autonomous wheel system
Genius 2 targeted flexible indoor material handling without replacing existing equipment. The system used autonomous navigation to support warehouses and manufacturing sites. The event adds operating or commercial context for warehouse automation and material-handling robotics.
