Cartken

Cartken is an AI-powered robotics company automating material flow across complex industrial sites with autonomous robots that operate seamlessly indoors and outdoors. Our robots enable building-to-building transport, eliminating manual handoffs and reducing non-value-added movement in manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics environments. Cartken offers a portfolio of robots, from compact delivery units to autonomous indoor-outdoor forklifts, supporting payloads from 20 to 1,500 kg (44 to 3,300 lbs). This allows one unified system to scale across different use cases, from small parts delivery to heavy pallet transport. Designed for real-world operations, Cartken robots navigate uneven terrain, changing weather and lighting conditions, and dynamic mixed-traffic environments, without requiring infrastructure changes. They integrate with existing systems such as doors, gates, and MES/WMS systems to enable continuous transport workflows. Founded by former Google engineers, Cartken brings deep expertise in self-driving technology to industrial automation, delivering a flexible, reliable solution for modern intralogistics.
