Locus Robotics (Wilmington, Massachusetts) makes the LocusBot, a collaborative goods-to-person picking AMR that works alongside human pickers, delivered on a Robots-as-a-Service subscription via the LocusONE platform. There is no consumer price: it is a B2B warehouse-automation subscription, not a robot sold to consumers. It is at commercial maturity, operating across 150-plus customers and 350-plus sites in 20 countries, having surpassed 6 billion cumulative picks by October 2025 (DHL Supply Chain a marquee customer), and it raised a $117 million Series F at a roughly $2 billion valuation in 2022 (a point-in-time figure). In April 2026 it launched Locus Array, a mobile-manipulation system extending from collaborative picking toward fully autonomous fulfillment. The pick-count and fleet figures are company-reported, and the ~$2 billion valuation is a November-2022 datapoint. Locus anchors the RaaS / multi-customer end of the warehouse-AMR business-model spectrum.
