…report noting that some rails embraced what it called “precision railroading” principles. In the meantime, while international trade accounts for 27% of U.S. GDP—including $1.6 trillion in exports and $2.4 trillion in imports—such rising demand can’t be taken for granted. Trump has talked openly about opening a trade war with China and our allies, and that war is apparently under way, with tariffs on aluminum and steel and the retaliatory tariffs already starting. “It’s far from certain that strong global trade flows will continue,” the report authors note. “U.S. trade policy has become less predictable as the current administration threatens…

…now becoming viable solutions, with the necessary degree of precision, processing power, and handling capability becoming available at a cost-effective price point. Advances in perception, motion planning, and grasping enable picking capabilities that approach the speed and ability of manual operators while offering the superior predictability, scalability, accuracy, and efficiency of automation. Although impressive, these robots still cannot yet handle the extreme variety of products seen in all e-commerce fulfillment operations, but they are showing quite some promise for the right product mix. Building on many of the recent advancements from the massive investments in self-driving cars, indoor mobile robots…
