Award-winning AI-powered robotic system sets new standard for speed, precision and adaptability in parcel logistics

BERKELEY, Calif. – June 11, 2025 – Ambi Robotics, the leader in AI-powered robotic sorting and stacking solutions for warehouse operations, today announced that its AmbiSort A-Series has been named “Automated Picking Solution of the Year” by SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. The award recognizes the system’s unmatched ability to deliver consistent, high-throughput performance in fast-paced parcel logistics environments. This recognition reflects Ambi Robotics’ commitment to innovative automation that addresses today’s logistics challenges.

AmbiSort is purpose-built for logistics leaders navigating growing parcel volume, labor shortages and cost pressures. AmbiSort combines advanced robotics, modular design and Ambi Robotics’ proprietary AI operating system, AmbiOS, to automate the picking and placing of mixed parcels with exceptional speed, precision and reliability.

“AmbiSort is delivering real-world impact in the warehouses that keep our economy moving,” said Jim Liefer, CEO of Ambi Robotics. “This award recognizes the value we bring to our customers every day by helping them boost throughput, reduce injury-prone tasks and futureproof their operations with intelligent automation.”

The system has executed more than 100 million pick-and-place sorts and logged over 200,000 commercial runtime hours across 80+ deployed robots. Every cycle contributes to continuous learning, training AmbiSort’s deep learning models using trillions of image tokens and real-world parcel interactions. With each deployment, the system grows smarter, faster and more precise.

At the core of AmbiSort is AmbiOS, the company’s AI operating system that powers reliable, adaptable robots in demanding commercial operations. AmbiOS combines modular hardware components, a growing library of AI skills and data into a unified platform that helps its fleet improve performance in real time while speeding development, training and deployment of new AI-powered robotic solutions and configurations. 

“AmbiOS leverages advanced simulation-to-reality technology to train our robotic solutions to handle complex tasks before deployment,” said Jeff Mahler, Co-founder and CTO of Ambi Robotics. “Once operational, every sort generates valuable data to train enhanced robot AI models like PRIME-1. This continuous learning flywheel ensures the system gets smarter, faster and more reliable – delivering compounding return on investment (ROI) to our customers as the algorithms improve with every sort.”

AmbiSort is built for the people who rely on it every day. By automating one of the most repetitive and injury-prone tasks in parcel logistics, the system helps reduce physical strain and improve overall warehouse safety and well-being. Its intuitive interface, minimal training requirements and low-maintenance design make AmbiSort easy to adopt, empowering warehouse teams to focus on higher-value, upskilled work that multiplies productivity and helps managers meet operational goals in high-pressure, tight-margin environments.

The SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards honor the world’s most innovative solutions across logistics, supply chain and transportation technologies. This achievement underscores Ambi Robotics’ mission to support warehouse operators with AI that works alongside people, to help businesses thrive amid industry transformation.
