Robotec.ai has demonstrated a fully autonomous warehouse robot. The company, which specializes in simulation systems for testing and deploying robotics, is collaborating with Liquid AI and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
The robot uses agentic AI to dynamically plan and execute tasks in real time without reliance on hard-coded scripts, said Robotec.ai.
The robot is powered exclusively by AMD Ryzen AI processors and Liquid AI’s next-generation LFM2 vision language models (VLMs). These foundation models combine perception, reasoning, and natural language understanding to interpret commands, detect safety hazards such as spills or blocked exits, and autonomously execute corrective actions.
Extensive testing in simulation platforms has improved system performance, Robotec.ai said. Simulation supports validation of embedded AI on real hardware, avoiding the costs and risks of physical testing. It is a step toward a future of reasoning robots that will intelligently respond to the changing environment around them, the company claimed.
AMD, Robotec.ai, and Liquid AI showcased agentic AI in robotics at ROSCon 2025 in Singapore, where attendees could see live demonstrations at AMD’s display in Booth 17/18.
Liquid AI model integrates perception, reasoning, and language
Physical intelligence has the potential to create immense value through efficient platforms like mobile manipulators, combined with agentic AI that integrates foundation models and reliable robotics. Robotec.ai said that its new demonstration consists of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), powered by agentic AI that is running on AMD silicon, operating within a warehouse with mixed traffic.
It completes tasks specified by humans using natural language and adapts to changing conditions through replanning. The flexible robot also serves as an inspection agent, alerting operators whenever unexpected occurrences or safety issues are detected in the warehouse area.
At the core of this system is Liquid AI’s LFM2-VL, a VLM designed for embedded, real-time intelligence, Robotec.ai explained. It integrates perception, reasoning, and language understanding into a single multimodal foundation model optimized for AMD hardware.
To tailor the model for agentic robotics downstream tasks, Liquid uses simulation-derived synthetic data provided by Robotec. The company said this enables domain-specific fine-tuning and robustness in complex industrial environments.
LFM2-VL interprets visual scenes, performs context-aware reasoning, and plans goal-driven actions entirely on-device. Its efficiency and responsiveness enable the robot to operate safely and autonomously, Liquid AI said.
Robotec.ai added that AMD’s processor proved to be an excellent “brain” for agentic AI while also capable of running the robotics software stack in parallel. “It is fast, compact, and efficient, with incredible performance in both speed and power efficiency, as measured by transparent metrics such as tokens, latency, and throughput,” the company said.
Initially demonstrated on an AMD Ryzen processor, Robotec.ai plans to transition to an AMD embedded x86 solution in the near future.
Robotec.ai works with AMD on HiL simulation
Robotec.ai has collaborated with AMD hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulation, boosting testing and performance. The company has created an HiL simulation running a ROS 2 stack and AI inference on a single Ryzen device.
In this configuration, the simulation runs on a separate AMD-powered computer and delivers a virtual environment that Robotec.ai asserted is indistinguishable from the physical world to the robot.
The HiL interface then connects the robot’s sensor and actuator signals directly to the simulator’s inputs and outputs, allowing the same control logic to be applied under realistic, reproducible conditions.
It supports the transition of the HiL setup to the real-world setup, enabling rapid OEM prototyping and demonstrating the solution’s robustness. In the long run, HiL can accelerate the research and development phase of innovation, said Robotec.ai.
