PostNL tests robotic dogs and humanoid robot for delivery support

In Singapore's business districts, delivery drivers waste hours going door to door to drop off parcels. QuikBot believes robots can address this by handling the most tedious part of the delivery process. Instead of spending two to three hours delivering 30 parcels across six buildings, drivers take 10 minutes to make one handover at a central robot depot, leaving the actual deliveries to the robots. QuikBot applied this process in a six-month pilot with FedEx, which let couriers save over an hour each day. https://lnkd.in/dcpNHwZc

Our Vendor of the Week is TUGBOT, the only AMR that can pull any cart from the side no adapters, no modifications. 🛒 TUGBOT specializes in autonomous mobile robots for intra-logistics, making it easier to automate the movement of trolleys, dollies, and wheeled carts in warehouses and factories. The standout here? Flexibility. Unlike many tugger-style AMRs that need specific carts or extra hardware, TUGBOT’s robots work with what you already have. That means faster deployment and lower costs for businesses looking to automate without a major infrastructure overhaul. Both models are built for industrial conditions, navigating with precision and handling floor gaps, inclines, and chilly environments. ❄️ Why should warehouses and factories take notice? Because TUGBOT closes a key gap in automation - pulling wheeled loads without needing to retrofit carts or change layouts. This opens the door to automating previously manual flows. With global deployments in over 12 countries and support from a strong investment group, TUGBOT brings reliability, financial backing, and ongoing innovation to the table. If you're exploring mobile robots for material handling, TUGBOT is worth a close look especially if cart-pulling is a part of your operations. #Innovation #Robotics #Automation

Veho and RIVR deploy AI-powered delivery robots in Austin to make last-mile e-commerce faster and safer. Source: [https://lnkd.in/gQVXaNaw] Veho, a U.S. parcel delivery platform, has partnered with robotics firm RIVR to pilot AI-powered delivery robots in Austin, Texas, intended to assist in “last-100-yards” delivery. The robots are built with wheeled-legged mobility so they can traverse stairs, gates, uneven sidewalks, and deliver parcels directly from a vehicle to a customer’s doorstep.Rather than replace human couriers, the system is designed to augment them: while a human makes one drop, the robot makes another. This aims to increase throughput and reduce physical strain.In the trial, a RIVR employee will accompany the robot to monitor performance and safety, with the partners using the Austin deployment to gather data and refine the system. #VehoRIVR #DeliveryRobots #LastMileAI #AugmentedDelivery #RobotCourier #UrbanLogistics #PhysicalAI #SmartDelivery #WheeledLegRobot #AIInEcommerce #FutureDelivery #RoboticsPilot #RobotAssist #AustinRobots   #TechInMotion

Introducing our innovative palletising system for warehousing and distribution. As the UK agents for Spider Robots, we are excited to share how this advanced solution can transform your operations. Key features of our palletising system include: - The ability to scan, sort, and palletise multiple cases and products simultaneously. - A streamlined process where one individual can efficiently empty a container with various product types, while the scanning, sorting, and conveyor system manages the transportation to the appropriate pallet. - Fully automated functions that include feeding in empty pallets, collecting cases, palletising them onto the correct pallets, placing layer cards, stretch wrapping, and labeling—all managed without manual intervention. This system is designed to operate with just two personnel, enhancing efficiency and productivity in your warehousing and distribution processes. #warehousing #distribution #logistics #palletising #robotics #reducingheadcount #palletstorage #palletracking #costsavings
