Nomagic puts an AI brain into live warehouse robots

SMRTR summary

A Polish robotics company has quietly crossed a threshold most robot labs are still rehearsing for. Warsaw-based Nomagic says it has deployed a vision-language-action AI model into live warehouses with paying customers, cutting robot-caused human interventions by roughly half.

Unlike most competitors racing to build one universal robot brain, Nomagic is betting on mastery first. Chief scientist Markus Wulfmeier, a former Google DeepMind researcher, puts it plainly: "We're betting that the harder part is actual mastery and that it has to be earned in real deployments first."

The company wraps its AI in classical safety software to hit the reliability threshold warehouses demand. Its deployed fleet processes millions of picks monthly, including two million from fashion platform Zalando, feeding real-world data back into its models.

The first VLA deployment runs at Brack.Alltron, Switzerland's second-largest e-commerce platform, where founder Roland Brack says robots now "run autonomous shifts through nights and Sundays."
