Warehouse the size of five football pitches in China is the first in the world to be run by ROBOTS

A Chinese firm has developed a fully-automated warehouse that is run completely by robots and has minimal input from humans. The roles of picking, lifting and moving heavy items are done by machines that are controlled and instructed by'robot controllers'. They do the'thinking' and decision-making processes and instruct other machines to perform certain actions. This reduces the need for all robots to be manually'taught' and streamlines the process, making it more efficient, the manufacturers claim. The roles of picking, lifting and moving heavy items in a warehouse are done by machines that are controlled and instructed by'robot controllers' which process and instruct all the robots Mujin, a start-up from the University of Tokyo, is developing this technology in the hope of achieving full automation.
