According to Zhitong Finance, Kejie, a subsidiary of Neusoft Group, unveiled an embodied AI robot cluster operating in a real warehouse in Tianjin on July 17 during the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC). Multiple wheeled robots performed continuous order picking tasks in Kejie's active logistics facility, handling real production orders from receipt to path planning, cargo identification, picking, and sorting—demonstrating the transition from "demonstration" to "real-world operation."
The robots operated autonomously within the thousands-of-square-meter warehouse, with multiple units working in parallel on the same aisle by dynamically adjusting routes to avoid conflicts. When battery levels dropped below preset thresholds, robots automatically charged while others continued operations. The deployment evolved from initial 7-degree-of-freedom robotic arms to 8-degree-of-freedom systems for improved adaptability to varying cargo heights and package dimensions. Human workers verified picked items, combining robotic efficiency with human judgment for quality assurance and exception handling.
