Abstract

This chapter delves into the history and evolution of autonomous robots, tracing their journey from the first industrial robot in 1961 to their current applications in logistics. It discusses the challenges and limitations of integrating robotic systems into logistics processes, such as the need for autonomy and self-learning capabilities. The chapter also explores the potential of robotics in logistics, including the use of handling robots, order-picking robots, and mobile collector robots to enhance efficiency and reduce human effort. It concludes by envisioning a future where intelligent robots play a key role in logistics operations, transforming supply chains and daily lives. By addressing both the current state and future prospects of robotic systems in logistics, this chapter offers valuable insights for professionals seeking to understand and leverage the power of autonomous robots in their operations.
