Description:

Pickle Robot is a low cost, collaborative package handling robot that automates several key tasks along the e-commerce supply chain. Package handling is a physically demanding job with extremely high rates of turnover. The rising costs of shipping, comprised of 2/3rds labor, have become a major bottleneck to continued growth in e-commerce. Dill is the first robot from the Pickle Robot Company. It works multiple shifts, communicates with its human collaborators, and is rapidly developing new skills in handling e-commerce parcels: such as loading/unloading of feeder trucks, palletizing/depalletizing, and preloading of last mile delivery vans, trucks, and parcel cars.
