LG CNS announced on June 11 that it has signed a business agreement with logistics company LX Pantos to develop a robot-based next-generation smart logistics system.
Once implemented, shuttle robots will retrieve items scheduled for shipment from the warehouse, while humanoid robots will receive these items and load them onto automated sorting equipment or other robots. This will create a comprehensive automated process for the entire shipping operation.
LG CNS plans to train the robots using LX Pantos' extensive logistics data. The training will utilize LG CNS's proprietary AI robot learning platform, 'Physical Works Poji,' while robot operation and real-time control will be managed through the integrated monitoring platform 'Physical Works Baton.'
The robots will include a wheeled humanoid robot from the U.S. robotics company Dexmate, in which LG CNS invested in March, as well as its own developed logistics robot, the 'Mobile Shuttle.' The Mobile Shuttle can move at a speed of 1.5 meters per second between warehouse shelves and can carry up to 1,500 kilograms of goods.
Through this collaboration, the two companies aim to reduce the burden of repetitive tasks in logistics operations and create a safer, more stable working environment. To achieve this, they plan to establish a demonstration space called 'TDL Lab' in the second half of this year to validate the logistics automation process, and they will also jointly pursue the commercialization of logistics robots for external clients.
Park Sang-kyun, Executive Vice President of LG CNS, stated, "This agreement is a project to demonstrate the applicability of various robots and learning and operation platforms in logistics operations. We will maximize productivity and operational efficiency in logistics with LX Pantos."
