The team of scientists, engineers, and business operators has set a new standard for reinforcement learning for robots.

Kindred uses cutting-edge AI technology and human-in-the-loop data methodology to improve robot capabilities so that picking becomes smarter, faster, and more accurate over time. Kindred SORT robots have picked more than 100 million units in production to date. The firm is also aiming to develop robots to solve real-world problems. Its proprietary platform, AutoGrasp™, is designed to operate robots autonomously in dynamic environments.
