MEET TRUCKBOT: THE ROBOT THAT UNLOADS MORE THAN YOU DO IN A WEEK This beast can unload up to 1,000 boxes per hour—from trucks, trailers, or shipping containers. No breaks, no whining, no coffee. It’s called TruckBot, and it was basically built to do the worst warehouse job ever: unloading floor-loaded containers (aka the box version of Tetris). It hooks up to your average conveyor belt, reaches 52 feet into trailers, and lifts boxes up to 50 pounds like it’s nothing. Powered by something called the MujinController (sounds sci-fi, but it works like magic), it figures out what to do, plans every move, and doesn’t stand around pretending to look busy. Basically: it’s the future of warehouse work, and it’s not calling in sick. Source:
