Brightpick said that Gridpicker is a multi-purpose robot built to automate a wide range of warehouse workflows, from picking and replenishment to sortation and buffering.
AI-powered robotic warehouse automation provider Brightpick has unveiled Gridpicker, which it said is a high-throughput grid-based fulfillment system run by AI-powered mobile manipulators, built on the company’s Autopicker technology.
Brightpick said it will provide a first-hand look at Gridpicker, and announce its European launch partners at LogiMAT 2026 in Germany.
Brightpick said that 75% of today’s automated storage and picking market is handled by legacy shuttle systems, despite many new technology entrants. At the same time, the company said that shuttle systems require time-consuming installation, high capital costs and considerable infrastructure.
In response to this market gap, Brightpick envisioned Gridpicker as a new paradigm - one that combines AI-powered mobile manipulators with the simplicity of a high-density grid design and cost advantages of the company’s Autopicker platform. Brightpick said that the result is an AI-powered offering that delivers up to twice the throughput per unit area versus shuttle systems, while maximizing labor savings and storage density.
“We created Autopicker to help operators achieve major cost and labor savings while keeping operations flexible,” said Jan Zizka, co-founder and CEO of Brightpick. “As deployments scaled, we saw that a large segment of the market, mostly high-volume fulfillment centers, needed far more throughput and performance than AMR systems could deliver. So, we created Gridpicker by essentially taking our Autopicker robots and placing them on a high-density grid. It delivers shuttle-level performance with AMR-level simplicity at 40% lower cost compared to shuttles, delivering the most flexible, scalable, highest-throughput AS/RS for demanding warehouse environments.”
Brightpick said that Gridpicker unlocks the full potential of every warehouse and reduces the need to build costly new facilities by delivering:
The company said that multiple customers have already ordered Gridpicker, with first installations scheduled for later in 2026.
