Puma builds intelligent warehouses

Puma is building an intelligent warehouse that can take decisions. A robot is being tested for efficiency, stability and consistency in daily use. The robot called Toru can provide precise access to individual objects, and not just standardised loading units like trays or boxes. The adaptive picker arms can grasp different cue-shaped objects – from a small paperback book to a shoe box or a heavy dictionary – and then place the object on its shelf and bring it directly to the shipping station.

Thanks to cameras, computer vision, numerous sensors, and the use of artificial intelligence, the robot can perceive and interpret its environment and make decisions on that basis. The hardware, which is equipped with conveyor technology, is based on elements which have been proven to work in similar working environments with success. The software that connects the technology with the sensors makes the robot perception-controlled.

Puma is a German multinational designer and manufacturer of athletic and casual footwear, apparel and accessories. The cooperation between man and machine is ensured with numerous sensors on the robot. If Toru gets too close to someone, it reduces its speed and then stops its movements. Toru doesn't need the warehouse lighting, as it has integrated headlights and can light its work environment itself.
