Pickle Robot Company

Join us at Ai4 - Artificial Intelligence Conferences! Physical AI in Action: Autonomous Truck Unloading 🗓️ Wednesday, August 13th | 11:55 AM 📍 Room 318 (Level 3) Andrew Meyer is speaking about the impact of generative AI is how it's being applied to physical supply chain operations today. We'll also be at Booth 556 if you want to stop by to learn more about Pickle Robot! Check out the event here: https://lnkd.in/gChZbWfr

What do a leaked press release, moving away from Agile, and finding GTM alignment have in common? They're all part of our turning point. We were recently on the Shift & Thrive Podcast, where Andrew Meyer and Natalie Nathanson had a great time discussing the journey startups take to find market fit, reworking not just the technology, but the way a company operates and how a values-driven team can bring ideas to life. Thank you for having us! To listen, links are in the comments below ⬇️

Extreme heat is hitting the US this week, and our robots are ready to unload and keep the trailers moving. 🦾

Thanks to DC Velocity for the feature and Randa Apparel & Accessories for the continued trust! Check out the full article on how Pickle Robot is automating container unloading in some of the harshest conditions here: https://lnkd.in/digycprr

Happy 4th of July from all of us at Pickle Robot! 🇺🇸 🦅 🤖

Pickle Robot is strengthening its foundation in Physical AI & Robotics by expanding collaborations with prominent researchers from Columbia University, Harvard University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology! “By working alongside researchers like Yilun Du, Yunzhu Li, and Russ Tedrake, we’re deepening our ability to deliver intelligent, human-scale automation that can adapt to the real-world complexity our customers face every day.” - Andrew Meyer, Founder & CEO of Pickle Robot Read more about our partnership here: https://lnkd.in/eRFtg_xQ

Today we're taking another big step toward our mission to automate truck unloading at the dock door. Join us in welcoming Fred Hopke, our new VP of Engineering, here to help supercharge Pickle’s next phase of growth! 🚀 Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eRFtg_xQ

To continue the Pickle Plays for Good series, where we share the impactful ways our team shows up for their communities through volunteering, our next spotlight is Last Hope K9 Rescue! 🐶 Last Hope is a New England based non-profit dedicated to saving abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs from high-kill shelters in Central Arkansas and beyond. As the literal “last hope” of the dogs they serve, their southern fosters pull dogs and puppies from Arkansas and have saved over 11,000 lives. While in foster, each dog receives love, care, and medical treatment, then receives a health clearance and transports to New England. Each dog is picked up and fostered by a northern foster family who serves as a gateway to their adoptive home, affectionately known as a FURever home. Eddie Osowski (Product Manager) adopted his first dog from Last Hope in 2015 and began fostering a few years later. Since then, he’s fostered nearly 30 dogs, adopted his second dog, and now volunteers by participating in service trips to Arkansas. This year marked his third trip, where a group of Boston-based volunteers spent a week tackling projects at the shelters where every Last Hope rescue journey begins. It’s their way of giving back and supporting the incredible people in the south who care for these dogs often with very limited resources. Want to learn more or get involved?

We recently visited the Robotic Perception, Interaction, and Learning Lab (RoboPIL) at Columbia University to meet with Assistant Professor Yunzhu Li and a brilliant cohort of PhD researchers! During the tour, we were able to get a brief look into the cutting edge research happening at the intersection of tactile sensing and teleoperation handling, learned physics simulation, and manipulation of deformable objects. 📦 Always inspiring to see academic innovation and glimpse the future of robotic perception and physical interaction capabilities. Thanks for having us!

We had a great time at Robotics Tech Week on Wednesday, diving into the future of robotics and Physical AI during two meaningful sessions: First up was Robotics Invest with a Fireside Chat "From Data to Intelligence - How Physical AI Will Drive the Next Decade of Robotics". Andrew Meyer spoke alongside Shayegan Omidshafiei from Field AI, Sabrina Mansur from Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, and our moderator Joanna Lichter from Emerson Collective. Some key takeaways on what really matters to scale robotics in the physical world: 🟢 The real power lies in the physical AI flywheel. More deployments mean more data, which drives better performance and faster reinforced learning. 🟢 Full-stack hardware/software integration has been a differentiator, and while it's not easy it creates durable advantage and trust. Later that day, Andrew Meyer spoke at another panel about Physical AI, hosted by Peter Haas from Massachusetts Technology Collaborative alongside Erin Linebarger, Ph.D. from Robotics 88, Oded Maron from MassRobotics, and Peter Howard from Realtime Robotics, Inc. As a Boston based company we're honored to be part of the conversation about innovation in Massachusetts and how we can play a leading role in shaping the next generation of robotics. A few takeaways were: 🟢 Physical AI is not just about perception, it’s about context, orchestration, and acting in harmony with messy, real-world inputs like temperature, incline, and speed. 🟢 The legal and data governance landscape is still a wild west. Establishing norms around ownership and usage is critical as proprietary data becomes the new currency. Thanks to Fady Saad & Jackson Saunders from Cybernetix Ventures for organizing! We're looking forward to building relationships with the robotics community and shaping what comes next in our own backyard. #RoboticsInvest
