Brightpick Giraffe Wins 2026 RBR50 Innovation Award from The Robot Report
Brightpick’s groundbreaking Giraffe robot has been recognized by The Robot Report with a 2026 RBR50 Innovation Award, one of the robotics industry’s most respected honors recognizing breakthrough technologies and market-leading innovation. The RBR50, conferred by The Robot Report and WTWH Media, is the annual list of the world’s 50 leading robotics organizations recognized for their technological excellence and business innovation.
Brightpick Giraffe is a telescopic robot that helps increase storage density within facilities, reaching to a height of 20 feet (6 meters) to retrieve goods stored on upper-level warehouse shelves. The robot works in tandem with Brightpick Autopicker robots to retrieve storage totes from elevated shelving positions and deliver them to lower-level locations where the Autopicker robots can perform picking tasks. This fully integrated solution allows warehouses to maximize their storage capacity without compromising efficiency in fulfillment operations.
“Receiving an RBR50 Innovation Award serves as a true recognition of our company’s vision and commitment to transforming warehouse automation with smart mobile manipulation technology,” said Jan Zizka, co-founder and CEO of Brightpick. “Our Giraffe robot expands the benefits provided by our Autopicker solution by making use of vertical warehouse space, which cannot be effectively automated without such solutions. With the combined power of both robots, our customers benefit from increased productivity, storage capacity, and labor efficiency.”
Fortune 500 companies such as NAPA Auto Parts and other organizations have deployed Brightpick Giraffe robots to optimize warehouse operations and maximize fulfillment efficiency.
From increasing AI advances to mobile manipulators and wearable systems, the 2026 RBR50 winners reflect the breadth and depth of this year’s innovation. Brightpick and other winners were celebrated at a gala dinner at the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston, Massachusetts, on May 27, 2026.Click the link to see the full list of companies in the 2026 RBR50 report.
