Tutor launched Cassie and Sonny, next-generation robots designed to move beyond narrow automation solutions and toward a new vision of robot labor: generally capable robot worker fleets, flexible to any physical work.
Key takeaways:
· Cassie is Tutor's workhorse single-armed robot embodiment, proven in production with millions of bulk picks in factories and warehouses across the United States. Powered by Tutor's Turing 200M parameter foundation model series, Cassie uses her cameras to perceive her environment and perform novel tasks without any programming, operator configuration, or vendor customization. Cassie can be used in critical operations such as de-palletization, induction, end-of-line palletization, and repackaging.
· Cassie is now fully autonomously mobile through a facility, with four wheels and enough battery life to make it through more than a shift without needing a charge. For mostly stationary applications like induction and palletizing, Cassie is now even faster to implement, with onboard vacuum generation and no physical install.
· Sonny is a next-generation robot built for the rigors and realities of industrial work. Sonny is generally capable of performing trillions of dollars of economic labor, while being practical to deploy and deliver large-scale customer value.
· Sonny is the company‘s first deployed robot running its newest Ti0 4.5B parameter vision-language-action robot foundation model (VLA), providing a research and deployment path to unlimited task generality and dexterity.
· Sonny's first job is e-commerce fulfillment, with the capability to autonomously navigate brownfield warehouses, pick arbitrary items out of racking, and deliver completed orders to packout.
