Teradyne Robotics partners with Sereact to scale physical AI in retail
Teradyne Robotics, the parent company of Universal Robots, has partnered with Sereact to deploy physical AI solutions in retail, logistics, and manufacturing. The collaboration integrates Sereact’s Cortex software with Universal Robots hardware to automate unstructured tasks such as piece picking and returns handling. The companies have already shipped hundreds of dual-arm robot systems to live…
Key points
- Teradyne Robotics and Sereact partnered to deploy physical AI for retail and logistics automation.
- Hundreds of dual-arm Universal Robots have been shipped to live customer sites in Europe.
- The system is deployed at Zalando centers in Germany and Poland to process returned items.
Sereact opened U.S. headquarters in Charlestown, Massachusetts, this summer to address growing demand in North America. The joint solution is currently deployed at Zalando’s fulfillment centers in Greven, Germany, and Świebodzin, Poland, where robots autonomously process returned fashion items. This initiative aims to help retailers comply with European Union regulations that prohibit the destruction or landfill disposal of returned merchandise.
NVIDIA technologies underpin the system, with Cortex trained in Isaac Sim and running on Jetson Thor for line-speed inference. Teradyne Robotics also contributes SimReady OpenUSD robot assets to Hugging Face to help developers reuse robot models in simulation.
