Brainy Fact
A robot was programmed in Japan by Noriko Arai to take the entrance exam to Japan’s Tokyo
University. Although the robot failed to get the top rank in the exam, it still beat 80% of the
students who attended the exam. This was an exam that even required a full-blown essay to be
written, which the robot wrote in style.

Warehousing Robots
A warehousing robot is a type of robot specifically designed to automate various tasks within a warehouse or
distribution center. These robots are equipped with advanced sensors, navigation systems, and manipulation
capabilities to efficiently handle inventory, organize products, and streamline logistics operations. They can
operate autonomously or work in collaboration with human workers to optimise efficiency and productivity in
the warehousing environment.
Let's consider an example to illustrate the functionality and benefits of a warehousing robot "Autonomous
Picking Robot".
In a large e-commerce warehouse, the process of picking items from shelves to fulfill customer orders can be
time-consuming and labour-intensive. To address this challenge, an autonomous picking robot is introduced to
streamline the picking process.
Features and Capabilities
Here are the features and capabilities of warehousing robots.
• Navigation: The robot is equipped with sensors, such as cameras, lidar, or laser scanners, to map and navigate
the warehouse environment autonomously. It can detect and avoid obstacles, follow designated paths, and
adapt to dynamic changes in the surroundings.
• Inventory Management: The robot interfaces with the Warehouse Management System (WMS) to access
real-time inventory data. It can retrieve information about the location of specific items, quantities in stock, and
order priorities.
