The robotic arm that makes handling small parcels easier
Description
La Poste-Colissimo has developed a robotized arm connected to small autonomous robots, to facilitate the processing of unstable or difficult-to-sort small parcel flows on industrial platforms.
Equipped with a 3D camera, the robotic arm uses AI to recognize the format and physical characteristics of each parcel transported on a conveyor. It then sends the coordinates of the identified parcel to the robot, which picks it up. The solution also ensures that the parcel is placed in the autonomous robot, with the label facing upwards, so that the barcode can be easily read to direct the parcel to the right destination.
This robot improves the performance of Colissimo's logistics network, prevents musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) by reducing parcel handling and improves the quality of life at work.
