Thoro unveiled CoreFlex, a large-scale, infrastructure-free solution capable of supporting multiple types of industrial vehicles.
Equipped with Orbbec’s 3D cameras, CoreFlex delivers significantly enhanced autonomous navigation, pallet handling, and obstacle detection, bringing new levels of efficiency and reliability to industrial automation.
"When sensor performance is exceptional, the software fully delivers on its design intent. We commit to providing OEMs worldwide with safe, scalable, and easy-to-use industrial autonomy solutions. Orbbec’s superior hardware and software capabilities give us the confidence to scale applications, and we are excited to expand into new vehicle types and deployment scenarios,” says Patrick Mondi, CEO of Thoro.
“CoreFlex demonstrates the tremendous potential of modular autonomous systems. The chip-level depth sensing capability of Orbbec enables CoreFlex to achieve stable and efficient autonomous operations even in complex warehouse environments. We look forward to accelerating the industry’s shift toward intelligent, automated operations together,” adds Brad Suessmith, robotics sales manager at Orbbec.
Key takeaways:
· CoreFlex integrates high-quality sensors, lightweight autonomy compute, and standardized plug-and-play interfaces, all unified under Thoro's autonomy software, fleet management, and cloud platform. This full-stack approach lets OEMs accelerate time to market and scale a single autonomy solution across multiple robot types without rebuilding from scratch.
· Orbbec’s Gemini 336 stereo 3D camera provides high-quality depth data, enabling smoother navigation and precise pallet handling; enhanced active infrared imaging for reliable depth sensing under varying lighting conditions, reflective surfaces, and dynamic scenes; compact design and standardized interface for cross-platform architecture; and high consistency across deployments, reducing edge-case failures and ensuring operational efficiency.
