The Zebra/Fetch AMR line comprises the autonomous material-handling robots (RollerTop, CartConnect, FlexShelf, HMIShelf) that Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) acquired with Fetch Robotics in 2021 for about $290 million and later branded as Zebra Symmetry Fulfillment, running on the FetchCore fleet platform. There is no consumer price, and the line is discontinued: on December 9, 2025, Zebra filed an SEC 8-K disclosing a decision to dispose of or exit the robotics-automation business, taking roughly $80 million in charges, with most staff departing by end-2025 and about a quarter retained to March 2026 to manage existing deployments. The stated reason was that the AMR business was not scaling fast enough. It is the wound-down anchor of the warehouse-AMR cohort: live deployments existed (e.g. ODW Logistics, a 42% pick-rate improvement reported less than two months before the wind-down), and the historical deployments retain their commercial state while the line itself reflects the wound-down direction.

notes
  • Verified (history): Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) acquired Fetch Robotics in 2021 (~$290M) and ran its AMR line (RollerTop, CartConnect 52.5kg, FlexShelf 70kg, HMIShelf), later branded Zebra Symmetry Fulfillment. Live deployments existed (e.g. ODW Logistics, 42% pick-rate improvement, reported <2 months before the wind-down).
  • Discontinued (verified): On Dec 9 2025 Zebra filed an SEC 8-K disclosing a decision to dispose of or exit the robotics automation business (~$80M charges incl. ~$45M asset + $34M intangible impairment); most staff out by end-2025, ~25% retained to March 2026 to manage existing deployments. Reason: the AMR business was not scaling fast enough. lifecycleState=discontinued; maturity reflects historical commercial peak.
