About Ati Robotics
Ati Robotics develops autonomous material-handling systems for factories rather than general warehouse fulfilment. Sherpa mobile robots tow trolleys and move pallets and heavy loads, while the company’s orchestration layer combines fleet control, real-time tracking and operational software around plant-floor material flow.
Founded in Bengaluru in 2017, the company began enterprise deployments in automotive and manufacturing facilities before expanding into North America, Mexico and Southeast Asia. It changed its trading name from Ati Motors to Ati Robotics in April 2026 and moved to atirobotics.ai to reflect the broader hardware, software and intelligence stack.
