Attabotics Inc. last week reportedly laid off most of its approximately 200 employees and filed a notice of intention for bankruptcy protection. The Calgary, Alberta-based company had developed hardware and software for automated storage and retrieval systems, or ASRS.

Inspired by ants, Attabotics had claimed that its ASRS could increase space utilization and warehouse efficiency.
