Logistics & Warehousing 物流仓储

Fulfilment at scale — picking, sorting and moving goods with fleets of mobile robots.

Applications 6 tracked companies 6 related stories

Logistics is where robotics meets the e-commerce economy. Warehouses and sortation centres run on AMRs, goods-to-person systems, robotic arms for picking and conveyors choreographed by fleet software — all aimed at moving more parcels, faster, with less labour.

It is one of the largest and fastest-growing robotics markets because the ROI is unambiguous and the labour pressure is acute. The remaining hard problem — reliable robotic picking of arbitrary items — is exactly where AI-driven manipulation and even humanoids are being trialled first.

What to watch

  • Robotic picking of arbitrary items as the key unlock
  • Humanoids and arms trialled inside warehouses
  • Fleet software coordinating mixed robot types
