Shift Robotics demonstrates warehouse Moonwalkers

Shift Robotics (Booth A9422) is a first-time exhibitor showcasing the ability of Moonwalkers robotic shoes to allow 3PL, warehouse, distribution, retail and supply chain employees to walk up to 7mph.


Shift Robotics (Booth A9422) is a first-time Modex exhibitor showcasing the ability of Moonwalkers robotic shoes to allow 3PL, warehouse, distribution, retail and supply chain employees to walk up to 7mph (up to 3 times faster), significantly reducing the number of steps workers take on a daily basis, reducing bodily wear and tear, and more.  

Launched early last year, Moonwalkers were named by TIME as a Best Invention of 2023 in part because these AI-powered robotic shoes enable people to safely walk at up to 7 mph. When employees in the third-party logistics (3PL), warehouse, distribution, retail, and supply chain world walk as many as 30,000 steps in a single day, wearing Moonwalkers enable those same employees to safely slash their daily Step Counts to as low as 13,000 steps/day.

Moonwalkers provide a gentle motorized push with each step, increasing stride and speed. The artificial intelligence software driving Moonwalkers measures and adjusts on-the-fly to both the terrain you're on and your unique gait, providing safe and productive personal mobility.
