Former Tesla Bot team leader set to transform warehousing with Mytra robot (1 Viewer)

[Chris]

Back in 2021 Tesla appointed Chris Walti as head of the Optimus team. Walti played an integral role in developing the foundations of Tesla’s humanoid robot division. Walti didn’t believe a humanoid form factor was optimal for warehousing and left Tesla in 2022 to found his own robotics company- Mytra Robotics. Walti along with former Tesla colleague Baitalmal developed Mytra, a robot that moves palletised product around a warehouse on motorised platforms- completely mitigating the need for human operated high reach forklifts.

Across its customer base, Mytra estimates that warehouses save up to 88 percent of labor hours and experience double the internal rate of return compared with current best-in-class technologies on the market.
