description: 6 River Systems is a warehouse fulfillment robotics company founded in 2015 in Waltham,
  Massachusetts by former Kiva Systems leaders Rylan Hamilton, Jerome Dubois, and CTO Chris Cacioppo.
  Its flagship product is "Chuck," a collaborative autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that works alongside
  human associates to guide and accelerate order picking, replenishment, and sortation in ecommerce and
  retail warehouses. The 6RS platform is a cloud-based execution layer that sits on top of a customer's
  WMS/ERP and exposes a RESTful JSON/HTTPS integration API for order, task, and operational-data exchange
  rather than a public self-serve developer portal. Shopify acquired 6 River Systems in 2019 for roughly
  $450M; Ocado Group acquired it from Shopify in May 2023, and the technology now sits within Ocado
  Intelligent Automation (Ocado Mobile Robot System / OMRS). Chuck has been deployed across 100-plus
  warehouses for 70-plus customers. Added to the API Evangelist network as a menlo-ventures portfolio lead.
