For a long time, many robotics companies have been developing warehouse robots that automatically transport goods, such as ClearPath, Fetch, and Locus Robotics, and they all agree that the most difficult part of this field is how to give robots the ability to intelligently select products. Not long ago, a German company called Magazino declared that they had built a mobile warehouse robot named TORU that can not only transport goods but also sort items directly from the shelves, which greatly reduced the number of people in the warehouse. Walk around and relieve the work load of employees on sorting cargo. It is even better than Amazon warehouse robots, which can only lock the cargo position and move the entire stack of shelves. It has visual navigation function, simple operation, and collaboration with people. .
Frederik Branter, Magazino's president and co-founder, claimed that they developed the TORU in order to allow it to freely shuttle between shelves in a highly uncertain working environment, supplementing regular manpower. Magazino employees created a three-dimensional model for each warehouse where TORU operates. Once the 3D map is ready, the TORU robot will shuttle through the warehouse, scan the environment about 15 cm above the ground with two laser sensors, and create a two-dimensional map that helps it detect the surroundings and infer where it is. During the operation of TORU, it can identify the wall, shelf, and human legs by analyzing the time the laser returns to the sensor; at the same time, the analysis data is shared with other working TORU robots in the same warehouse. In the process of smooth object identification and barriers, TORU does not require the aid of a large control arm. It also does not require special guidance lamps and reflected light to indicate the direction. It can be described as two major advantages.
The TORU can be run on regular shelves, boxes, and it can grab and move up to 8 shoebox-sized boxes at a time and deliver them to designated locations or replace them as needed. In fact, Magazino made three different TORU robots of different sizes to take care of different items. The TORU Cube is used to grab rectangular items, the TORU Box i is best at gripping standard containers, boxes, or dishes, while the TORU Flex is able to grab irregularly shaped items, such as a teddy bear from a box of teddy bears.
In addition to teddy bears, TORU can also handle some novelty and skewed items. When it walks to the target shelf, it can use the laser and camera to detect the item it wants and determine its position on the shelf, and collect relevant data to determine how the gripper should grab the item. Once it has acquired the item, it will be stored on internal shelves.
Magazino stated that TORU will play an important role in e-commerce warehouses where employees need to pick up orders. In addition, TORU robots are very good at handling orders involving multiple types of goods. For example, for an order containing four types of goods, the TORU can go to four shelves one by one, transporting all the goods to the transport station at one time, without having to move the shelves back. The original place.
At present, three TORU robots have been delivered to the Fiege Mega Center in the Erfurt region for use. The company’s CEO Jens Fiege expressed surprise at TORU’s super performance and stunning performance: “Magazino’s robots make our warehouse more digital, and I believe that robotics technology will make great progress in the development of the company’s internal logistics system applications. Contributions."
Willy Shih, a professor of management practice at Harvard Business School who specializes in technology and operations management, also pointed out that he appreciates the role played by TORU as a human picker: “It uses more than Amazon’s robots in determining how to grab items and successfully grabbing items. With more sensing and analysis technology, I think TORU will share the work pressure of the warehouse staff because it does not need to move shelves during the operation.â€
The best way to promote industrial development is to use an open mind to treat future uncertainties and to remain embarrassed for the future. In any case, TORU should be a good bargain.
