…the goods-to-person picking space and perhaps RightHand Robotics and Covariant in the piece-picking space, which has been slow to get traction. Exotec appeared to be moving ahead with deals with companies like Gap Inc. We’re also beginning to see robots targeting tasks beyond robot-to-goods picking, such as trailer unloading and parcel induction. Those are great. But there are also signs that 2023 may be the long-awaited shakeout in the robotics industry, like the long-awaited recession in the economy.

After all, how does one determine if an AI-driven arm and gripper can actually handle the rapidly changing SKU mixes seen in modern e-commerce? Flashy presentations from a dozen or more vendors can’t really answer that question, Stinson said. “It’s a crowded and confusing marketplace, where trying to understand the capabilities…

…the 2020 Modex event, KNAPP announced a partnership with Covariant, an AI robotics technology vendor, to enhance KNAPP’s piece picking robot solution. The solution already is in use at several customer sites, including at Obeta, a German electrical supply wholesaler. Reader says that by employing AI, piece picking robots don’t have to be trained on each item, and can improve over time on how to grasp items. “Our solution is using an AI engine with deep learning to identify SKUs and adjust for how to best grip an item,” says Reader. “And, it’s learning so that the piece picking is…
