Traditional warehouse automation has improved efficiency, yet many systems remain rigid, expensive, and difficult to adapt when workflows or layouts change. Even small adjustments often require specialized expertise or time-consuming reprogramming. This creates a disconnect between what operators need robots to do and how easily they can communicate those needs — a challenge we call the “Human Intent Gap.” AdaptiFleet was designed to close this gap by enabling intuitive, AI-driven fleet control. Instead of relying on complex interfaces or predefined scripts, users interact with autonomous robots using natural language. Commands such as “Get me three bags of chips and a cold drink” are interpreted and translated into structured robotic tasks automatically. At its core, AdaptiFleet leverages Gemini-powered Vision Language Models (VLMs) to understand user intent and visual context. Robots operate within a dynamic decision framework, allowing them to adapt to changing environments rather than follow rigid, pre-programmed routes. The platform integrates a digital twin simulation stack built on Isaac Sim, enabling teams to validate behaviors, test workflows, and optimize multi-robot coordination before live deployment. Once deployed, ROS2 and Nav2 provide robust navigation, dynamic path planning, and collision avoidance. The VLM orchestration layer continuously analyzes visual inputs to support scene understanding, anomaly detection, and proactive hazard awareness. When conditions change, AdaptiFleet autonomously re-plans routes and tasks, reducing downtime and operational disruption. By combining conversational interaction, real autonomy, and simulation-driven validation, AdaptiFleet simplifies robotic deployments while improving efficiency and visibility. The result is an automation system that is adaptive, scalable, and aligned with how people naturally work.
