⬤ Suzhou Lumos Robotics partnered with Shanghai Damon Technology to launch a heavy-duty humanoid robot built for warehouse logistics. The wheeled system handles goods up to 50 kilograms and has already been tested in a working warehouse, proving it's ready for real-world use beyond lab environments.
⬤ During the demo, the robot moved crates weighing 25-50kg from picking carts onto conveyor belts, where another humanoid took over for packaging and sorting alongside Damon's existing robots. After the handoff, it returned empty crates to their original spots, creating a complete automated loop. This shows how different robots can work together to keep warehouse operations running smoothly.
⬤ Shanghai Damon brings over thirty years of logistics expertise to the project, focusing on heavy, repetitive tasks that traditionally rely on manual labor. Automating these jobs cuts down on worker injuries from constant lifting. This isn't Damon's first rodeo with humanoid logistics—last June, they tested AgiBOT's Genie 1 robot in a similar warehouse setup.
⬤ What makes this significant is the push toward practical automation solutions that fit into existing warehouse systems. Heavy-duty humanoid robots that mesh with current conveyor and sorting equipment could fill critical automation gaps. As more companies test both wheeled and walking humanoid designs in actual operations, these trials will shape how smart logistics evolves and how quickly the industry embraces full-scale automation.
