While automation is common in logistics, shoeboxes have historically been one of the most challenging items to automate in fashion logistics; their loose lids often detach when handled by standard robotic arms.To overcome this, the Shoebox Picker utilises a specialised software-hardware synergy: AI-powered vision: Advanced computer vision is guiding the physical hardware. This allows the robot to "recognise" the specific product type and its orientation in real-time, automatically adjusting its grip type and picking technique to suit each individual item and its orientation. Precision grippers: The robots are equipped with custom-engineered grippers that secure the box from two sides, ensuring the lid remains intact during transit.
