en.Wedoany.com Reported - A new generation of humanoid robots has been deployed at China Post's Guangzhou Jianggao logistics site, each capable of handling up to 1,200 parcels per hour. The logistics center processes an average of 6.5 million pieces of mail daily, with peak volumes exceeding 10 million pieces, providing a highly demanding operating environment for such equipment.

Under 24-hour continuous operation, a single robot has a theoretical processing capacity of 28,800 parcels. On-site footage shows humanoid robots working alongside robotic arms and unmanned forklifts to form an automated sorting system, maintaining the continuous flow of large-scale parcels.

The robots performing the sorting tasks are Model M7 from RobotEra. This upper-body robot is equipped with dexterous hands and sensing tools, enabling it to perform parcel identification, grasping, and placement actions. Its 2.1-meter operational range makes it suitable for repetitive tasks on fixed production lines.

Recently, Figure AI also demonstrated a case where humanoid robots continuously sorted tens of thousands of parcels in a warehouse environment. China Post's deployment indicates that humanoid robots are entering repetitive job roles in the logistics sector. These robots can undertake hands-on tasks on sorting lines without requiring a complete redesign of workflows around traditional equipment.

XPENG's robotics plans also reflect that automakers are pushing humanoid robots beyond stage demonstrations into customer-facing, real-world work scenarios.
