Smart Palletizing/Depalletizing System
Overview
HKCLR developed the Smart Palletizing/Depalletizing System to replace human workers in doing palletizing/depalletizing tasks with high efficiency and low cost.
Technical name of innovation
HKCLR Smart Palletizing/Depalletizing System
Research completion
2022
Problem addressed
HKCLR Smart Palletizing/Depalletizing System can perfectly take place of human workers in doing palletizing/depalletizing tasks and has the advantage of being intelligent, highly efficient and reliable.
Innovation
- Support the mainstream palletizing objects, such as cartons, sacks and barrels. The high-precision robot grasping technology can achieve human-level palletizing accuracy, thus ensuring a stable and reliable transportation.
- Achieve palletizing optimization by utilising AI. The system can make the most efficient use of the site space, improve the transportation efficiency and reduce transportation cost.
Key impact
- The System has the human-level intelligence and can take place of human in doing highly repetitive, high-load and low-technical works, such as depalletizing.
- Improve the landing efficiency of robots and AI in the depalletizing scene.
Application
- HKCLR Automated Sorting System
The Hong Kong Centre for Logistics Robotics was established in 2020 by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, with research contributions from the University of California, Berkeley. The Centre focuses on the research and development (R&D) of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for “future workplace” as well as innovative solutions to the “pressing problems” in the logistics industry. In particular, HKCLR aims to advance robot intelligence in terms of
• Robust Sensing and Perception
• Human-Robot Collaboration
• Smart Manipulation Robots
• Unmanned Logistics Vehicles
The research team is composed of distinguished professors from the two universities and accomplished Ph.D. degree holders across world-leading universities. The Centre is dedicated to pursuing innovative breakthroughs in ready-for-use robotics and AI technologies via close collaboration with academic and industrial stakeholders throughout Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area (GBA), and Mainland China. It is expected that the Centre will foster the leading role of the local logistics industry in GBA and Mainland China, meanwhile enhancing its competitive edge in the global arena.
