About

About FoxBot ATL

FoxBot ATL combines a three-wheel counterbalance electric forklift with cameras, lidar, safety sensors and autonomous-control hardware. Its perception system locates pallets in changing trailer layouts and plans movements across variable trailer floors and receiving areas.

The forklift unloads trailers and moves pallets through receiving docks with limited warehouse-management-system integration. Fox Robotics provides deployment, remote support and software updates for continuous operation. FoxBot ATL has completed millions of autonomous pallet movements across customer facilities.
