Locus Origin
Locus Origin is the flagship autonomous mobile robot (AMR) engineered specifically for high-volume warehouse order fulfillment and collaborative human-robot workflows. Weighing just 45 kg with a 36 kg payload capacity, Origin delivers intelligent navigation through crowded warehouse aisles while dramatically reducing unproductive worker walking time. The robot's intuitive onboard interface, advanced LocusSense™ sensor fusion technology, and seamless integration with the LocusONE platform enable warehouses to achieve 2-3x productivity improvements. Origin adapts to diverse container types and supports dynamic task interleaving, allowing workers to perform picking and replenishment simultaneously. With 14 hours of operating time per charge and 50-minute quick charging, Origin provides the flexibility and dependability required for continuous multi-shift warehouse operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Origin eliminates unproductive walking time by intelligently directing workers to their next task location, reducing walking by 70%+ while increasing picking efficiency. Combined with dynamic task interleaving (simultaneous picking and putaway), workers complete more tasks per hour, with documented 2-3x productivity improvements across diverse warehouse environments.
Origin's flexible design accommodates tote arrays, bulk bins, shipping boxes, and multi-level shelving systems. The robot can be configured with fixed bins for loose items, flat surfaces for manually placed loads, or specialized custom attachments. This versatility enables deployment across picking, putaway, and replenishment workflows without reconfiguration.
Origin's intuitive multi-language interface enables basic operation training in minutes, not hours. The onboard display provides clear task instructions and worker guidance, with optional gamification to reinforce proper workflows. Most warehouse associates are productive on day one with minimal formal training.
Yes. Origin delivers 14 hours of operating time per full charge, covering most warehouse shifts. The 50-minute quick charging during breaks enables transition between shifts. Many warehouses operate multiple Origin robots in rotation for true 24/7 coverage, managed through the LocusONE platform.
Origin utilizes LocusSense™ technology combining 2D LiDAR scanning, 3D front-facing cameras, and proximity sensors for comprehensive environmental awareness. This sensor fusion enables real-time obstacle detection, dynamic path replanning, and safe speeds around workers—all without requiring protective fencing or operational barriers.
Locus Robotics consistently demonstrates ROI achievement within 6-12 months through labor cost reduction (50%+ in some cases), increased productivity, and reduced overtime. The Robots-as-a-Service model spreads costs across 36 months with predictable monthly fees, minimizing upfront capital requirements and financial risk.
