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.
