  "account": "CJ Logistics has introduced humanoid robots into its daily warehouse operations at its Olive Young logistics center in Yangji, Yongin, South Korea. This marks the company's first real-world application of such robots in logistics processes. The deployment of two humanoid robots is aimed at placing cushioning material inside boxes during the packaging stage. This move follows successful field testing at its Gunpo fulfillment center last year. The robots are designed to learn from real logistics work, turning the gathered data into new training material to enhance their accuracy and responsiveness. Unlike fixed automation equipment for standardized tasks, humanoid robots can navigate spaces conceived for human use and can potentially switch between different jobs as products and orders evolve. The company has developed its own control technology, using logistics work data to create a robot foundation model (RFM) serving as the robot’s \"brain.\" This system integrates data from vision and sensors with simulated information to help robots understand their surroundings.",
