RLWRLD, CJ Logistics expand partnership to build smarter warehouse robots
Tech firm RLWRLD and supply chain giant CJ Logistics are joining forces to build smarter warehouse robots capable of handling the messy realities of modern logistics, with plans to eventually export their physical artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to overseas markets. RLWRLD said Monday that it signed a memorandum of understanding with CJ Logistics to jointly develop logistics-focused…
RLWRLD, a technology company, and CJ Logistics, a major supply chain provider, have entered into a partnership to create advanced warehouse robots that can navigate the complexities of contemporary logistics. The two firms have signed a memorandum of understanding outlining their joint efforts to develop Robotics Foundation Model (RFM) technology tailored for logistics purposes.
The collaboration aims to commercialize this RFM technology, starting with selected logistics processes in Korean operations and later extending to global markets. RLWRLD and CJ Logistics will conduct proof-of-concept tests to validate the core robotic movements in real-world settings. Based on these tests, the companies intend to broaden the applications of their technology and enhance its technical performance over time.
The ultimate objective of this partnership is to commercialize Logistics as a Service (Laas), a model that would allow logistics facilities to benefit from the advanced capabilities of their AI-powered robots. CJ Logistics has been progressively incorporating physical AI into its logistics operations, including the deployment of AI humanoid robots in actual workflows. The companies acknowledge that logistics facilities present a particularly challenging environment for the development of smart robots.
