Explore RightHand Robotics' RightPick technology, combining intelligent gripping, machine vision, and artificial intelligence to automate individual product handling in warehouse fulfillment operations.
RightHand Robotics develops AI-powered piece-picking systems for automated warehouse fulfillment and material handling.
RightHand Robotics is an American robotics company founded in 2015 and based in Somerville, Massachusetts, specializing in autonomous piece-picking technology for warehouse and distribution operations. Established by researchers with backgrounds at Harvard, Yale, and MIT, the company develops robotic systems designed to handle individual products across diverse inventory categories.
Its flagship RightPick platform combines an industrial robotic arm, proprietary gripping technology, machine vision, and AI-powered control software into an integrated picking solution. The technology is designed for e-commerce fulfillment, pharmaceutical distribution, apparel handling, and other operations that require reliable processing of mixed products.
Introduced in 2024, RightPick 4 is an autonomous piece-picking system designed to transfer individual products between totes, bins, cartons, and other warehouse containers. The system can handle items weighing up to 3 kilograms and measuring approximately 1 to 30 centimeters, accommodating products ranging from small cosmetics to packaged consumer goods.
RightPick 4 supports picking cycles as fast as three seconds, although actual throughput depends on the surrounding equipment and fulfillment workflow. Its upgraded cameras, sensors, and AI software are designed to increase the range of products that can be handled without manual intervention.
One of RightPick's defining technologies is its proprietary gripper, which combines vacuum suction with three compliant mechanical fingers. The suction cup initially lifts an individual item, while the fingers help stabilize and secure it during movement and placement.
This hybrid approach allows the robot to handle products with different shapes, packaging materials, and physical characteristics without changing the entire gripper. An optional Suction Cup Swapper can automatically select different suction cups to improve handling across a broader assortment of products.
RightPick uses industrial cameras and machine vision software to identify products, estimate their positions, and determine suitable gripping strategies. Its model-free recognition technology allows the system to attempt picking previously unseen products without requiring a separately programmed routine for every individual SKU.
RightPick AI coordinates visual perception, gripping decisions, and robotic motion while collecting operational data from completed picking attempts. This information supports continued improvements in grasp selection, item handling, and exception management across deployed systems.
RightPick can be integrated into automated fulfillment workflows involving goods-to-person systems, conveyors, storage systems, and order-processing stations. The robot can transfer individual items into customer orders, consolidate products, and support inventory handling processes that would otherwise require repetitive manual picking.
Optional barcode scanning enables product verification and traceability during the picking process, helping operators confirm that the correct item has been selected. The system also incorporates detection capabilities intended to identify multiple-item picks and other handling errors before products are placed into an order.
RightPick 4 requires electrical power, compressed air, network connectivity, and suitable lighting conditions for its vision equipment. Published specifications include a 2,500-watt power rating, compressed air pressure of 80–120 psi, and operating temperatures between 10°C and 40°C.
RightHand Robotics offers integration interfaces for connecting its picking technology with warehouse software and broader material handling systems. By combining robotic manipulation, AI vision, and automated exception handling, RightPick provides a specialized solution for facilities seeking to automate repetitive individual-item picking operations.
