Geekplus RoboShuttle Hyper Debuts Climbing Robot With 6,000-Tote Hourly Capacity
Warehouse robotics company Geekplus has presented its RS Hyper climbing robot at CeMAT Asia 2026, showcasing a system designed to move goods through high-density storage facilities. The robot forms the core of the company's RoboShuttle Hyper solution, which combines horizontal movement across warehouse floors with vertical climbing to retrieve storage totes.
The Geekplus RoboShuttle Hyper system is rated to handle up to 6,000 totes per hour per 1,000 square metres. Its accompanying Max workstation can receive up to 800 totes per hour. The figures highlight the company's focus on increasing warehouse throughput without relying solely on larger storage areas.
Geekplus RoboShuttle Hyper combines horizontal and vertical movement
The RS Hyper robot travels across warehouse floors and climbs storage racks to retrieve totes from different levels. This allows the system to use vertical storage space while delivering goods directly to picking stations.
Geekplus says the robot can climb at speeds of up to 1.5 metres per second and operate with racks reaching 15 metres in height. Its design supports simultaneous climbing across adjacent rack columns, as well as two robots operating within the same column. The company says these capabilities allow more robots to work within the same footprint.
The system also uses a bidirectional, high-density route network to manage robot movement. Geekplus says its layout requires only two rack columns to be blocked during climbing, compared with four to six in typical configurations. This approach is intended to improve storage access while reducing the space reserved for robot movement.
System targets 6,000 totes per hour
The headline performance figure is up to 6,000 totes per hour for every 1,000 square metres of system area. This is the rated throughput of the overall RoboShuttle Hyper configuration, not the output of a single robot.
The Max workstation has a separate rated capacity of up to 800 totes per hour. Its dual-point continuous feeding arrangement allows totes to reach the workstation from two supply points, helping maintain a steady flow for picking operations. Actual performance will depend on warehouse layout, system configuration and operating conditions.
Geekplus also lists support for more than 50,000 totes per 1,000 square metres in high-density storage configurations. Its scheduling software is designed to coordinate up to 5,000 robots across deployments covering as much as 50,000 square metres. These figures describe the system's stated scalability rather than the capacity of every installation.
Warehouse automation moves towards denser storage
RoboShuttle Hyper is designed for operations that need high goods-handling capacity in limited space. Potential applications include e-commerce fulfilment, fresh-food distribution, cold-chain logistics and micro-fulfilment centres.
The system follows a tote-to-person model, in which robots bring stored items to workers or automated picking stations. This reduces the need for people to travel through warehouse aisles to retrieve individual containers. Combining vertical retrieval with coordinated robot movement could also help operators make more productive use of available floor space.
Geekplus introduced RoboShuttle Hyper in August 2026, but its RS Hyper robot received a public exhibition showing at CeMAT Asia in November. The demonstration places the system alongside the company's wider warehouse automation portfolio, which includes mobile robots, pallet-to-person systems and humanoid robotics.
The product reflects a broader shift in warehouse automation towards systems that coordinate storage, retrieval and picking as one operation. Its commercial value will ultimately depend on how consistently the stated throughput and density figures translate into real warehouse environments.
