Mujin develops and sells “intelligent robot controllers,” designated as a common platform for industrial robots. Even though conventional automation is suitable for repetitive work, it was difficult to install in environments where products and the surroundings are liable to change. This was due to the robots’ operations differing by the manufacturer and the complex settings. Mujin, which has offices in the U.S., Japan, and China, said it has solved this problem using motion-planning technology. It provides robotics systems so factories and warehouses can automate heavy or simple work that previously had to be done manually.

At MODEX 2022, Mujin Corp. plans to debut mixed-case robotic palletizing with intelligent buffer and re-sequencing capability. The Tokyo-based company said the novel application demonstrates how robots can perform challenging picking and packing tasks without advanced programming. Mixed-case palletizing has been difficult to automate, according to Mujin. Traditionally, this labor-intensive operation requires material handlers to store the cases for an order until there are enough cases to build the pallet. Recently, many organizations have begun automating the storage and sequencing of goods to make human packers more efficient, but such material handling equipment is expensive and has a large footprint,…
