Cartken

Cartken designs and deploys autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that operate seamlessly both indoors and outdoors to automate last-mile delivery, material transport, and on-site logistics. Its fleet includes the Cartken Hauler, a heavy-duty outdoor AMR with a 660 lb (300 kg) payload and 16+ hour runtime, and the Cartken Courier, a compact, agile delivery robot ideal for lightweight and secure transport. A temperature-controlled version of the Hauler supports sensitive deliveries such as pharmaceuticals and lab materials, while the upcoming Cartken Mover—an autonomous pallet truck capable of carrying up to 3,300 lbs (1,500 kg)—expands automation into industrial material handling. Each model integrates Cartken’s AI-powered navigation and fleet-management software, enabling autonomous mapping, teleoperation, and real-time analytics for scalable, flexible logistics automation.
The company operates on a full Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, in which customers pay on a subscription or pay-for-usage basis rather than purchasing the robots outright. The RaaS offering bundles hardware, software, and service into a turnkey package: Cartken retains ownership of the robots, handles maintenance and updates, and delivers continuous improvements through its AI software. This structure eliminates upfront CapEx for customers, reduces operational friction, and ensures ongoing access to the latest hardware and software capabilities. Manufacturing is scaled through a partnership with Magna International, enabling Cartken to rapidly deploy fleets for enterprise and industrial clients globally.
