An ETH Zurich spinoff just showed up at MODEX 2026 with warehouse robots that don’t need you to rip up your floor. Rapyuta Robotics — already the top pick-assist AMR vendor in Japan, backed by JSR — unveiled upgraded versions of its two flagship hardware lines: the Rapyuta ASRS and the Rapyuta PA-AMR.
What the Hardware Actually Does
The ASRS uses an anchorless, modular assembly. No permanent infrastructure changes. The bots inside it are the thinnest in the industry, running at 2.5 m/s, and the multi-robot coordination AI handles up to 300 units across all rack levels. Rapyuta claims you can go from bare floor to running system in days, not months.
The PA-AMR is the picking side — autonomous mobile robots that cut warehouse walking distance by 50%. The MODEX 2026 update adds a precision-boosting feature for high-accuracy workflows. Both systems were running live at Booth C14593 in Atlanta, April 13–16.
Cloud API: The Real Differentiator
Everything runs through rapyuta.io, their cloud robotics platform. There’s a REST API, a Python SDK, and ROS 2 integration. Developers can manage entire robot fleets programmatically — push tasks, pull real-time status, deploy software updates from git to devices. If you’re building warehouse automation agents, this is hardware you can actually call.
