Day 2 of ProMatDX has a heavy focus on robots - Logistics Management
Yesterday, Day 1 of ProMatDX , I focused on trends some of the industry’s leading system integrators were following. Today, I’ll look at robotics.
One of the presenters at last year’s NextGen Supply Chain Conference, the annual technology conference I produce, was Adrian Kumar, the global head of operations science & analytics at DHL Supply Chain. The topic was robotics: When it comes to putting robotics to work in the warehouse and distribution center, few organizations have worked with as many solution providers as Kumar’s team at DHL. Yet most of his presentation was about software.

Run out of milk? Robots on call for Singapore home deliveries | Reuters
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Hoping to capitalise on a surge in demand for home deliveries, a Singapore technology company has deployed a pair of robots to bring residents their groceries in one part of the city state.
Developed by OTSAW Digital and both named "Camello", the robots' services have been offered to 700 households in a one-year trial.
Users can book delivery slots for their milk and eggs, and an app notifies them when the robot is about to reach a pick-up point - usually the lobby of an apartment building.
Rolling Robots Keeps Focus On Students Throughout Pandemic | Los Angeles, CA Patch
Los Angeles, CA — Aerospace engineers Bing Jiang and Dr. George Kirkman abandoned the high-paced environment of satellite construction in the early 2000s, chasing instead a passion for teaching kids to establish the family-owned business Rolling Robots.
"I have this passion forever to want to work with young kids," Jiang said, "because young kids have a big open mind and they still haven't set their opinion about the world, so you have an opportunity to influence them and show them what's possible. We really wanted to do something that is directly impacting the kids."

Domino's Is Testing Self-Driving Robots That Will Deliver Your Pizza
The delivery robot was made in partnership with robotics company Nuro and it will be the first US Department of Transportation-approved, driverless, fully autonomous delivery vehicle to hit the streets. Kicking off its first route in Houston, the new vessel will give customers—ones who place pre-paid orders through the brand's website—the ability to choose whether they want their food delivered via robot.
If you're in Houston and are ready to order from your local Domino's to get this experience, you may want to keep reading on because you may not be eligible quite yet. Though Domino's hopes to rollout the robot delivery service nationwide soon, this futuristic program is only currently located at the 3209 Houston Ave. location in the historic Woodland Heights neighborhood of H-Town. But that doesn't mean your neighborhood isn't up next.
Robots alone will not keep DC labor demand in check | Supply Chain Dive
Warehouse employment in the U.S. has doubled over the past decade as DCs ramped up hiring of hourly workers to pick, pack, and ship rising volumes of ecommerce orders. Investments in robots may slow the increase in labor demand in coming years, but robots are not the answer for all DCs. Most need a mix of strategies to keep labor costs in check.
Many DC operators are turning to new types of smart software that uses Artificial Intelligence to optimize labor productivity in non-automated processes. AI-based optimization attacks a major component of the labor productivity challenge by reducing travel. This is the same principal that underlies robotic picking systems, making AI a complement – and in many cases, an alternative - to robots for solving the DC labor challenge.
Packing safety intelligence into robots' AI brains | InfoWorld
Safety, like any other aptitude, must be built and trained into the artificial intelligence that animates robotic intelligence. No one will tolerate robots that routinely smash into people, endanger passengers riding in autonomous vehicles, or order products online without their owners' authorization.
Controlled trial and error is how most robotics, edge computing, and self-driving vehicle solutions will acquire and evolve their AI smarts. As the brains behind autonomous devices, AI can help robots master their assigned tasks so well and perform them so inconspicuously that we never give them a second thought.
The delivery robots market is expected to grow from USD 212 million in 2021 to USD 957 million by
