There have been some solid attempts in this space before - many projects take on the whole baggage system design and end up very very complex and often over budget. We're focusing on introducing tech that plays well in a larger system, particularly in "brownfield" existing processes - our bet is that recent advances in robot autonomy give us ability to handle items that weren't possible before, and therefore our units can be introduced in a more flexible way.

Very cool, makes sense. Totally, the real challenge in this space is all the weird corner cases.
