CommonSense Robotics makes your warehouse work like clockwork

Meet CommonSense Robotics, an Israel-based startup focused on optimizing e-commerce warehouses with cute little robots and a comprehensive software solution. We talked with the startup last month and could even order a few items in its test fulfillment center.

The most visual part of the system is the tiny little robots that move on the ground. But this isn’t the smart part of the system. CommonSense Robotics has basically turned warehouses into a giant game of Tetris combined with Battleship.

The ground is defined as a grid of boxes that are roughly the size of a robot. The robot reads the coordinates of the box using a good old camera and QR codes on stickers. They’re then connected to the network using Wi-Fi.
