Ocado Technology has developed a robot that can recognise and sort over 50,000 unique items from its storage crates.
The robot pick station consists of a suction cup on the end of an articulated arm. The arm is equipped with a pipe running to an air compressor, which is capable of lifting items regardless of their shape, as long as they are within the weight restriction.
It uses an assembly line system where crates of products are delivered by conveyors to a picking point.
