Summary
The Ocado 600 Series bot is an ultra-lightweight, autonomous industrial robot designed to navigate the high-density storage grids ("The Hive") of its automated grocery warehouses. Engineered with an "additive-first" philosophy, the bot features a core structure composed of a carbon-fibre skeleton and over 300 components manufactured using MJF. This represents roughly half of its total parts.
