About Yondu
Yondu AI deploys robots for warehouse and logistics environments. At Automate 2026, we're showing two live applications alongside our partners METIS and Foundova Robotics: a stationary arm integration with the METIS autobagger, and a teleoperated steel chain sorting task.
What We Do
Yondu deploys robots that handle the dull, repetitive, physically demanding tasks that are hardest to staff and easiest to get wrong.
At Automate
We're showing two applications: a stationary arm integration with the METIS autobagger and a teleoperated steel chain sorting task with Foundova Robotics.
Why It Matters
Both demos run on partner hardware in partner booths, showing exactly how Yondu fits into an existing operation.
Two Applications at Automate
Yondu is running live at two partner booths: a stationary arm integration with the METIS autobagger, and a Foundova Robotics teleoperation demo of a steel chain sorting task. Both are fully operational demos you can walk up and watch.
At the METIS booth, Yondu's stationary arm is integrated directly with the METIS autobagger. Watch the robot handle the full pick-and-pack workflow alongside the machine, an end-to-end packaging application running live on the show floor.
At the METIS booth · Booth #20165
At the Foundova Robotics booth, watch a live teleoperation demo of a steel chain sorting task built for a tier 1 automotive company. This application showcases how humanoid teleop handles industrial objects.

Getting There
Packaging Application
Watch Yondu's stationary arm work alongside the METIS autobagger in a fully integrated pick-and-pack demo. The Yondu team will be on hand to walk you through the application.
Teleoperation Demo
Watch a live Foundova Robotics teleoperation demo of a steel chain sorting task built for a tier 1 automotive company: humanoid robots handling industrial objects in real time.
