Robot Workers Go Postal
Industrial robot giant Yaskawa Electric, along with the Mitsui Co. have developed the parcel sorting worker of the future.
The system’s two-armed Motoman-DIA10 robot is able to recognize and rapid-sort everything from boxes to clothing. It can easily match the thousand-parcels-an-hour speed of the dedicated human worker it’s been designed to replace assist.
For eager corporate job-seekers the world over, starting in the mail room may no longer be an option.
