Fetch Robotics

Fetch Robotics is a provider of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for the manufacturing, distribution, and fulfillment industries, enabling customers to optimize warehouse and material-handling workflows through robotic automation. Its Fetch and Freight robots are programmed through a ROS (Robot Operating System) interface — standard ROS topics, services, and actions conforming to ROS Enhancement Proposals (REPs) — rather than an HTTP/REST API, and the first-party client, driver, and simulation libraries are published as open source in the fetchrobotics GitHub organization. Fetch Robotics was acquired by Zebra Technologies in August 2021 for approximately $290M; fetchrobotics.com now redirects to Zebra and the autonomous-mobile-robot product line is being wound down (2025-2026), though the open-source ROS packages remain available.

Fetch Robotics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Robotics, Autonomous Mobile Robots, Warehouse Automation, and ROS.

Fetch Robotics’ developer surface includes documentation and 10 more developer resources.
