RightHand Robotics today announced the close of a $23 million funding round to bring its services to customers in Europe and Japan and expand sales, engineering, and customer service divisions of the company. The RightPick platform combines proprietary machine learning-driven tech with commercially available cameras and robotic arms to complete orders by picking and sorting items in ecommerce fulfillment centers. Currently, those items are limited to 2 kilograms, but advances planned to take place with the funding will make it possible to pick up heavier items, like laundry detergent or gallon milk jugs, a company spokesperson told VentureBeat in an email.
