Warehouse robots deployed by DHL Supply Chain and Locus Robotics have completed their one billionth warehouse pick, marking a major milestone for large-scale robotics deployment in modern fulfillment operations.

The landmark pick was completed inside a DHL facility by a Locus autonomous mobile robot operating within the company’s global network of automated fulfillment centers.

While the individual item involved was relatively modest – a pink beanie – the milestone highlights the scale at which warehouse automation is now operating across global logistics networks. [Read more…] about DHL and Locus Robotics reach 1 billion warehouse picks milestone

Dexterity says its new world model delivers ‘major leap forward’ for physical AI-powered truck loading

by

Dexterity, a developer of physical AI powered industrial robotics, has announced a “major leap forward” in its Physical AI stack, anchored by Foresight, a state-of-the-art world model and a 4D box packing agent.

These advancements help solve some of the most physically demanding and hardest-to-staff tasks, such as truck loading. Alongside the announcement, Dexterity is also launching the Foresight API Challenge with up to $50,000 in prizes for student teams.

Foresight is Dexterity’s physics-consistent world model, a real-time, transactable representation of the physical environment that enables robots to perceive, reason, and act. Foresight represents a new class of world model, built not for observation, but for physical manipulation at the production scale.

NūMove Robotics & Vision partners with KPI Solutions to develop new robotic order picking system for beverage warehousing

by

Robotic systems manufacturer, NūMove Robotics & Vision, and supply chain services and automation integrator, KPI Solutions, have joined forces to create an innovative robotic concept that optimizes order preparation for fast-moving SKUs in the beer and beverage industry.

Called “RAPTOR”, this high-throughput, dual-robot system tackles the growing demand for efficiency and flexibility in modern warehouse operations while addressing the challenges of mixed palletizing.

Requiring only approximately 2,500 square feet (230 square meters) of space, this vision-guided system simplifies order preparation by depalletizing products into SKU-specific buffer lanes and then repalletizing them into retail-ready mixed-SKU order pallets.
