Each arm handles up to 10 lb (about 4.5 kg).","It runs from a standard 120 V outlet (10 A peak draw) and needs a dedicated 10 Mbps Ethernet connection. With no battery there is no charging or swapping, and the stationary design is meant to eliminate tipping risk. Locking casters make it easy to move."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["Ultra describes OP1 as AI-powered and built to cope with variable items, changing workflows and unpredictable demand. It has not published details of its models or how tasks are taught."]},{"h":"Applications and deployments","p":["OP1 handles order packing, sorting and kitting. Ultra highlights deployments in New York (splitting a shift between bulk polybagging on an autobagger and padded mailer packing), Atlanta (packing and sealing mailers of various sizes), Carlstadt, New Jersey (robots packing orders within hours of delivery) and Austin, Texas (six OP1s side by side). The company says it powers warehouses across the US 365 days a year."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["Ultra Robotics was established in 2024 and designs and builds its robots in Brooklyn, New York.
