What is it?
RightPick3 is Righthand Robotics' current-generation robotic picking system, building on the RightPick2 platform with improved AI perception models, mechanical gripper updates, and increased throughput capability. It represents the state of Righthand Robotics' technology as of 2023.
Who is it for?
E-commerce fulfilment, 3PL, pharmaceutical distribution, and retail distribution operations with high-SKU mixed product picking requirements. Facilities seeking to deploy or upgrade to current-generation AI picking technology with the broadest available product handling range.
Key specs
- Gripper: Updated RightHand multi-modal gripper (suction + finger)
- AI: Updated perception models for improved SKU range
- Throughput: Improved vs RightPick2 (application dependent)
- SKU range: Expanded vs RightPick2, including improved polybag and small item handling
- Integration: WMS/WES compatible
- Generation: 3rd generation (2023)
- Origin: US
Key improvements vs RightPick2
RightPick3 delivers improvements across three dimensions: updated AI perception models increasing the range of items handled reliably; mechanical gripper refinements improving grasp success rates on challenging item types (polybags, small items); and throughput increases from combined hardware and software optimisation.
How it compares
RightPick3 competes directly with Covariant Brain (acquired by Amazon 2024), Mujin TroPick, and emerging foundation model picking systems. At the 2023 generation, RightPick3 is competitive on throughput and SKU range in its commercial market segment of e-commerce and 3PL.
Limitations
- Still challenged by highly deformable items (loose fabric, liquids), very small items, and transparent packaging
- Throughput competitive but not yet at human picker rates for simple products
- Requires appropriate tote/bin presentation and consistent lighting
- Foundation model competitors (Covariant, Amazon Sparrow) represent the emerging technology frontier beyond current-generation trained picking AI
FAQ
What is the difference between RightPick3 and RightPick2?
RightPick3 (2023) delivers improved AI perception models with expanded SKU range, better handling of challenging item types (polybags, small items), updated gripper mechanics, and higher throughput compared to RightPick2.
Can RightPick3 pick polybag items?
Yes. Improved polybag handling is one of the key advances in RightPick3's updated AI and gripper design versus the second generation. Performance on specific polybag types should be verified with Righthand Robotics for the specific product profile.
Is RightPick3 compatible with existing RightPick2 deployments?
Upgrade path compatibility should be confirmed with Righthand Robotics, as integration with existing WMS/WES systems and physical installation may vary between second and third generation deployments.
What throughput can RightPick3 achieve?
Throughput depends on item type, tote configuration, and application specifics. Righthand Robotics provides throughput benchmarks for specific product profiles during system design. RightPick3 is faster than RightPick2 across comparable applications.
