CJ Logistics has introduced humanoid robots into its warehouse operations in Korea, marking the company's first use of such technology in a logistics process. The deployment occurred at the company's Olive Young logistics center in Yangji, Yongin, where the robots are employed to place cushioning material inside boxes during packaging.
This move follows successful field testing at the company's Gunpo fulfillment center last year. The robots are designed to learn from real logistics work, providing valuable training data to enhance their accuracy and responsiveness. Unlike fixed automation equipment suited for specific tasks, humanoid robots possess the flexibility to adapt to various environments and tasks as product and order requirements evolve.
The company has developed its own control technology utilizing logistics work data to create a robot foundation model (RFM) that acts as the robot's "brain." This system integrates visual and sensor information with simulated data to assist the robots in recognizing their surroundings.
