Affordable Robotic & Automation Ltd’s subsidiary Humro has received a landmark order from a leading US logistics company for six autonomous mobile robots valued at ₹41.3 million on a two-year lease. This breakthrough solidifies ARAPL’s position in the international robotics market and aligns with its global expansion strategy.

Affordable Robotic & Automation Ltd (ARAPL), India’s first listed robotics company, announced that its subsidiary, ARAPL RaaS Humro, has secured an important order to supply six Atlas AC2000 autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to a prominent US-based logistics and warehouse management firm. The deal, valued at ₹41.3 million, involves a lease contract of two years.

This order follows over three months of successful prototype trials at the client’s facilities, demonstrating advanced features such as LiDAR-based navigation, real-time obstacle detection, and precision control powered by proprietary AI algorithms. The client currently operates 15 warehouses and expects to deploy up to 15-16 robots per warehouse, presenting huge growth potential.

Founder and MD Milind Padolee emphasized the significance of this breakthrough, positioning Indian “Make in India” robotics on the global stage against dominant US and Chinese players. ARAPL plans to invest USD 8-10 million into Humro for accelerated growth and innovation.

The company’s strong portfolio includes over 7,000 industrial robots and 10,000 automated car parking systems, supported by nine patents and multiple proprietary software platforms. This US order marks a pivotal chapter in ARAPL’s journey toward becoming a leading global automation and robotics powerhouse.
