About SUitee Cobotics
SUitee's retail robot was intended to move goods and assist store employees during repetitive indoor work around customers. Its safety chain combined laser scanners, encoders and a safety controller with navigation and workflow software on the mobile base.
The company entered liquidation in 2022 and was closed for insufficient assets in 2023. The system therefore belongs to the historical record of retail AMRs, showing how autonomous material movement was configured for grocery and large-format store environments.

The sensor stack combines four SICK lidar units, a three-dimensional infrared camera, onboard AI and a Flexi Soft safety controller. The robot maps store interiors, reroutes around blocked aisles and slows or stops when people enter its path. After pre-summer testing, SUitee completed the first delivery of its autonomous assistance robots in September 2020.
