Brain Corp's autonomous robot fleet hits 250bn sq.ft milestone
Brain Corp has announced that its fleet of over 37,000 autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), powered by the BrainOS Robotics Platform, has now autonomously covered more than 250bn sq.ft of space globally.
The milestone emphasises the global trend towards automation as industries around the world increasingly move to intelligent robotic solutions to optimise operations and address rising workforce challenges.
To put this scale into perspective, 250bn sq.ft is equivalent to covering the entire landmass of New York CIty almost 30 times, 4.34 million US football fields, or 89 million tennis courts. In addition to the vast area covered, Brain Corp's fleet also reached more than 19 million hours of autonomous operation - equal to 2,100-plus years of continuous operation.
"This latest milestone is a testament not only to the success of Brain Corp, but to the shift we're seeing toward automation across sectors," says David Pinn, CEO of Brain Corp.
"Whether it's optimising inventory management or creating cleaner, safer environments, our autonomy solutions are helping organisations tackle their most complex operational challenges."
As industries grapple with labour shortages, higher customer expectations and the need for operational sustainability, robotic and AI capabilities are increasingly driving productivity, while enhancing both employee and customer experiences. By utilising the BrainOS Sense Suite and BrainOS Clean Suite, enterprise customers worldwide automate critical tasks such as inventory management and commercial floorcare, and shift employee workloads from time-consuming, physically demanding tasks to higher-value activities.
Increased AMR usage across industries leads to greater productivity…
Brain Corp's latest data shows increased utilisation of BrainOS-powered AMRs across multiple industries globally. Comparing Q3 2022 to Q3 2024, the average daily usage grew significantly across sectors:
* Warehouse/Industrial: +340%
* Education: +123%
* Airports: +91%
* Retail: +53%
* Malls: +16%
This growth highlights continued progress integrating robots into team workflows and demonstrates how Brain Corp's enterprise tools are helping drive change management.
Crowdsourced learning fuels innovation at unmatched scale…
As a result of this scale, the unprecedented library of data the Brain Corp fleet amasses daily fuels ongoing improvements via 'crowdsourced learning'. What one individual robot experiences as an edge case leads to the adaptation and improvement of the overall fleet, ensuring that each robot deployed benefits from the collective experience of the entire global fleet.
"What makes this so significant isn't just the enormity of the area our fleet has covered, but the unique volume of data we're able to learn from as a result," adds Jarad Cannon, CTO of Brain Corp. “This allows us to consistently optimise our technology and quickly adapt to real-world challenges, which means providing ever-increasing value to our customers.”
