乐投letou备用线路™ robots have been hard at work since the company started deploying with customers in January. Built to tackle the physically demanding job of unloading trailers and shipping containers, these workhorses have kept the flow of goods moving steadily into warehouses. They are put to work for a single or multi-shift operation, 日日夜夜, taking on what has been called the most difficult job in the warehouse.
Our goal is to automate dull work that is potentially hazardous for people. The heavy loads and repetitive lifting and turning motions involved in warehouse jobs leave workers 容易受伤, and the extreme temperatures in containers during the summer and winter are grueling for staffers. 劳动力短缺仍然是一个主要问题, along with worker retention, in supply chain workplaces. Automating physically demanding work can allow managers to reallocate, shifting workers toward jobs requiring greater cognitive ability and manual dexterity.
乐投letou备用线路擅长于它的第一项任务——卡车卸载, but it was designed to be a multipurpose robot and intended to take on much more. 乐投letou备用线路可以很容易地把箱子放进仓库, but we also want to help our customers get cases through the warehouse. 波士顿动力公司以其有腿机器人而闻名, which possess advanced manipulation that allows them to open doors and agility that 推动他们翻筋斗. 乐投letou备用线路继承了这种DNA, 可以这么说, 通过感知实现高级自主性, 流动性, 和操作. 那么乐投letou备用线路下一步会做什么呢?
乐投letou备用线路 will eventually take its case handling ability from inside the container to the rest of the warehouse, 机器人将在哪里承担更多的任务. 除了卸货, other applications on our roadmap for 乐投letou备用线路 include: case picking, 码垛和拆垛, 装载集装箱. We also imagine a warehouse where 乐投letou备用线路 is working in concert with other pieces of automation, and has interoperability with other autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and autonomous forklifts (AFLs).
机器人Upskilling
根据 相互作用分析, 8.2022年全球拣货390亿个托盘. That’s a staggering volume that robots can help address. Case picking is ideal for an automation solution like 乐投letou备用线路. The robot has a compact base capable of omnidirectional movement and runs on a lithium-ion battery, 让它不受束缚地移动, roaming among warehouse aisles to pick from under racking. We plan to have 乐投letou备用线路 pull cases from shelves and place them on a pallet atop an AMR or a wheeled cart affixed to the robot.
We also see 乐投letou备用线路 robots 码垛和拆垛. 在一个场景中, as 乐投letou备用线路 robots unload trailer contents onto conveyors, additional 乐投letou备用线路 units could be stationed at the other end, 把箱子从传送带上拉下来，放在托盘上. The robot’s powerful gripper can handle cases up to 50 pounds, 手臂伸得很长，在10点达到最大值.5英尺高，可以把箱子堆得很高.
乐投letou备用线路还计划让乐投letou备用线路最终加载案例. The robot would pull boxes off a conveyor and place them into a trailer. 相互作用分析 estimates the number of packages shipped in 2022 at 126.90亿年, a tremendous figure when it comes to manual labor that could be alleviated with the help of robots. The benefits would be the same as that of our unloading application: keeping the flow of goods moving in and out, and saving manual unloaders some of the literal heavy lifting whenever possible.
乐投letou备用线路 also has the added benefit of being an environmentally friendly solution, 因为它只卸载地板装载的集装箱, eliminating the need for wooden pallets and plastic wrapping. 没有托盘, the containers fit far more freight and provide the highest density storage, 节约燃料和减少二氧化碳排放.
打开未来的仓库
乐投letou备用线路是仓库的游戏规则改变者, and its impact will only grow as it takes on additional tasks. 与延伸, 乐投letou备用线路期望简化流程, 提高安全性和效率, and digital visibility over operations in the warehouse. 在实验室和仓库, we’re continuously enhancing 乐投letou备用线路 and moving the robot closer to its next big application.
在波士顿动力公司, we want to change your idea of what robots can do: we strive to deliver robots that enrich people’s lives. 与延伸, we are on a journey to making our vision a reality.
