Ambi Robotics Returns to Berkeley and Expands Headquarters, Investing In People and Infrastructure To Support Deployment Growth

New headquarters is home to accelerated growth, engineering support, and R&D while reinforcing commitment to culture and supply chain innovation

BERKELEY, Calif. - May 3, 2022 - Ambi Robotics, the leader in AI-powered robotic parcel sorting systems for supply chain operations, today unveiled its new headquarters in Berkeley, Calif. to support company growth and new product development. Ambi Robotics is ramping up deployments of AmbiSort systems ahead of peak season as more shipping and logistics brands grapple with surging ecommerce demand. The new headquarters boasts 33,000 square feet of space for the company to continue its mission to solve the supply chain's most complex problems while helping people handle more than ever before.

"Relocating our headquarters back to Berkeley was a logical step in our business growth strategy," says Jim Liefer, CEO of Ambi Robotics. "This decision was fueled by the need to accommodate the growth of our company as we remain focused on deployments and supporting the implementation of hundreds of AmbiSort AI-powered robotic sorting systems in production across the US".
The new office location will accommodate the capacity for growing teams in customer support, engineering, AI research, operations, and software development. The new Berkeley headquarters footprint increased over 500% as the team more than quadrupled its size in one year. Ambi Robotics was previously located in a 6,000 square foot office space in Emeryville, Calif.
"We are thrilled to be closer to where it all began, just a few miles from the heart of the UC Berkeley campus where our founding team met while pursuing our Ph.D.'s,'' says Stephen McKinley, Co-Founder and VP of Operations at Ambi Robotics. "Ambi Robotics is built on the power of people - people working together to build extraordinary systems that empower our workforce to handle more. We are building a one-of-a-kind headquarters to foster the growth of our dedicated team and an environment that empowers our team at Ambi Robotics to handle more too."
The newly remodeled headquarters, now re-architected and designed to support the development of advanced supply chain technologies, boasts features that build the human experience for all employees.
"At Ambi Robotics, we believe that when people are respected and valued, they become more engaged," says Sandra Kazee, VP of Finance at Ambi Robotics. "We are committed to building an inclusive working environment for our team where all employees can be their best, authentic selves."

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
