Overview

Pickle Robot (Cambridge, Massachusetts) manufactures an autonomous truck and container-unloading robot that uses a KUKA arm on a custom mobile base with generative AI and computer vision to autonomously unload floor-loaded trailers without pallets or prior configuration. The robot handles packages ranging from 6x6x6-inch cubes to 24x24x32-inch boxes weighing up to 50 lbs, unloading 400 to 1,500 cases per hour depending on package characteristics, and can be deployed in production in under five days without WMS integration. UPS signed a $120 million contract for approximately 400 units; the system is also deployed by Ryobi Tools and Yusen Logistics.
