warehouse robot

Automated storage helper

A warehouse robot is an automated machine that moves goods within storage and distribution facilities.

These robots retrieve items from shelves, transport pallets, and assist human workers with picking and packing orders.

Amazon's fulfillment centers popularized the technology, though warehouse robots now operate across retail, manufacturing, and logistics industries.
