Chuck is a wheeled picking cart that drives itself to each location and cues the associate with lights, a display and voice prompts. Modular shelving gives up to six levels of tote space, and navigation uses lidar and cameras against a site map without floor infrastructure. 6 River Systems was founded in 2015 by former Kiva Systems executives, and Chuck fleets are used in retail, apparel and third party logistics warehouses.
