Autonomous mobile robot developer Seegrid says its fleet has surpassed 20 million autonomous miles driven across customer production environments, marking a major milestone for the company’s operations in manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics.
The company says the total distance travelled by its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) is equivalent to circling the Earth more than 800 times, with all miles logged inside active industrial facilities rather than controlled test environments.
Seegrid’s systems are deployed in large-scale production operations, including automotive manufacturing plants and warehouse environments operating around the clock.
The company says the milestone reflects the growing role of autonomous material handling systems in industrial operations facing labour shortages, rising operational complexity, and increasing pressure to improve efficiency.
Chris Baker, CEO of Seegrid, said: “Reaching 20 million autonomous miles is a monumental feat that validates the maturity and reliability of our technology.
“This milestone is a testament to our team’s dedication and the incredible trust our customers place in us. We aren’t just moving materials; we are building a data-driven foundation for physical AI to allow our customers to scale their operations safely and confidently in the increasingly complex world of material handling.”
According to the company, the autonomous miles were accumulated across 24/7 customer operations in North America, including manufacturing and logistics facilities where robots navigate alongside workers, forklifts, and other industrial equipment.
Seegrid says its systems use proprietary vision-based navigation technology combined with LiDAR and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) software to operate in dynamic industrial settings.
The company also highlighted safety performance as a key factor behind the milestone, stating that the 20 million miles were completed without a recordable safety incident.
Seegrid says the operational data collected through these deployments is also being used to support the development of physical AI capabilities for industrial robotics applications.
The company said: “Every mile driven trains our systems to better understand, predict, and interact with the physical world – preparing our AMRs to navigate industrial facilities with human-like spatial awareness, industrial-grade precision, and fully compliant interoperability.”
Seegrid argues that autonomous mobile robots are becoming increasingly important as manufacturers and warehouse operators look to modernize operations, reshore production, and address ongoing workforce shortages.
The company says its systems are designed, engineered, and supported in the United States, positioning them as part of the broader shift toward automated industrial workflows across North American manufacturing and logistics sectors.
