Overview

6 River Systems (now Ocado Robotics) provides collaborative mobile robots for warehouse picking. Acquired from Shopify by Ocado, the Chuck robots offer rapid deployment for fulfillment operations.

Our verdict

Best for warehouse and 3PL operators that want collaborative AMR-assisted picking layered onto an existing facility without ripping out the current WMS.

Strengths

Chuck collaborative robots assist human pickers for putaway, picking, replenishment, counting, and sorting, working inside existing warehouse infrastructure
Tech-agnostic software connects with leading WMS, ERP, OMS, and labor management systems rather than requiring a rip-and-replace
Backed by Ocado Group, a dedicated warehouse-automation parent, through the Ocado Intelligent Automation division
Deployed at scale across 100-plus warehouses with proven enterprise 3PL and retail customers

Watch-outs

No public pricing, no free trial, and engagement runs through a quote-only contact form
No published uptime SLA, status page, public API, or developer documentation for the AMR offering
Now folded into Ocado Intelligent Automation and rebranded under the Ocado Mobile Robot System, so the standalone 6 River Systems and Chuck identity is being absorbed
