- Statuson sale

The Locus Origin is a collaborative-picking autonomous mobile robot (AMR) for warehouses, built by Locus Robotics, a U.S. company based in Wilmington, Massachusetts, and active since 2014. The robot weighs 45 kg (99 lb), stands 157.5 cm (5 ft 2 in) tall and carries totes of up to 36 kg (79 lb) at speeds of up to 5 m/s, running for as long as 14 hours on a single charge. Fleets are orchestrated by the LocusONE software, which coordinates many robots at once during order picking in a goods-to-person model: the worker stays in one zone while the robots bring the goods to them.
The Origin is sold almost exclusively as Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS), with no public price list. The Third Fin page that is sometimes cited for a figure of USD 35,000 plus USD 2,000 a month actually gives no numbers for Locus, only “Custom Quote” and “Contact for Pricing”. A separate, general industry source puts comparable picking robots at USD 25,000-40,000 to buy or USD 1,200-1,800 a month as a subscription, but without reference to the Origin specifically. None of these figures has been confirmed by the manufacturer.
Against competitors such as Geek+ or 6 River Systems, the Origin stands out for its maturity in e-commerce and third-party logistics (3PL) deployments, but like most RaaS players it does not publish hard pricing. There is no confirmed availability or dealer in Poland, and the manufacturer names no Polish representative.

Running and deployment costs
Locus publishes no price list: the Third Fin page sometimes cited for Locus pricing lists only “Custom Quote” and “Contact for Pricing” for Locus products. A general industry source puts comparable picking robots at USD 25,000-40,000 to buy or USD 1,200-1,800 a month under RaaS, but that is a figure for the whole class, not for the Origin, and the manufacturer has not confirmed it. Our rough estimate for a fleet of a dozen or so robots is a subscription in the range of hundreds of thousands of zloty a year; treat that as an estimate to verify against a real quote. On top of the subscription come deployment, WMS integration and training. Poland’s robotization tax relief (ulga na robotyzację) may apply only if the costs meet the statutory definition, so it is worth checking with a tax adviser (see “Poland's Robotization Tax Relief”).

Applications
What it's for
The Locus Origin is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) from Locus Robotics working in a "collaborative picking" model: the robots drive themselves between the racks while each person stays in their own zone and drops items into a tote. The robot is 157.5 cm tall, weighs 45 kg and carries totes of up to 36 kg at up to 5 m/s; it runs for up to 14 hours on one charge. The LocusONE software assigns tasks across the fleet.
Typical uses are order picking and goods-to-person work in an e-commerce warehouses, at 3PL operators and in fulfillment centers. The same logic could suit multichannel retail, where fast handling of online orders matters. The Origin is not a pallet mover and not a production-line robot; other machines cover that, as we explain in “AMR Robots in the Warehouse”. Note that this is a fleet system: its value comes from the number of robots and the quality of the software, not from a single unit.
Typical applications
Who it's for
Best suited to: large and mid-sized e-commerce warehouses, 3PL operators and fulfillment centers with many SKUs and seasonal peaks that want to boost picker productivity without rebuilding the building. Who it does not suit: small warehouses handling a handful of orders a day (the deployment and subscription costs will not pay back), companies that need pallet transport, and anyone who wants to own the robot outright, since Locus sells almost exclusively as a subscription. The key caveat for Poland: the manufacturer names no Polish representative, and availability is unconfirmed. Before you start talks, check mobile robots to see whether a local integrator has a closer alternative.
This model in applications
Comparison
For a Polish warehouse the choice is wider than a single vendor. AGILOX ONE competes in the class of autonomous vehicles, with solid support in Europe. OTTO 100 is a transport platform for intralogistics, better where the job is moving goods rather than picking them. KUKA KMP 600P fits factory work where integration with the production line matters. HAI Robotics HaiPick A42 is a completely different style: a robot that lifts totes from tall racks, listed at an indicative price of around PLN 193,810 (≈ EUR 44,330 at NBP rate 4.3716 of 20 October 2026). Amazon Proteus shows where large-scale logistics is heading, but it is not available to ordinary customers.

History
Locus Robotics was founded in 2014 in Wilmington, Massachusetts, and from the start bet on human-robot collaboration in order picking. The product line includes the Origin, the Vector and the Max; the Origin is the one described here. There is no public launch date or list of earlier generations, so we do not give one from memory.

How much does the Locus Origin cost?
The manufacturer does not publish an official price list. Figures circulating online (including a supposed USD 35,000 + USD 2,000 a month on Third Fin) are not confirmed by that page or by the manufacturer; Third Fin lists only “Custom Quote” for Locus. Other general industry sources give a range of USD 25,000-40,000 to buy or USD 1,200-1,800 a month as RaaS for comparable robots, without confirmation.
Is the Locus Origin available in Poland?
There is no confirmed information on availability in Poland or on a Polish dealer for Locus Robotics.
