In a notable advancement for automation, China Post has deployed humanoid robots at its major mail processing facility in Guangzhou. These robots, known as Xingdong M7, are designed to sort packages and can handle up to 1,200 parcels per hour. The M7 features a 360-degree field of view and is equipped with advanced 3D LiDAR technology, allowing it to manipulate packages with impressive dexterity. Despite their capabilities, there are concerns regarding their efficiency compared to human workers; a test indicated that a human intern outperformed a similar robot by sorting 192 more packages during a shift. The integration of humanoid robots at a state-owned facility highlights China's commitment to advancing its robotics sector, as the country already leads in humanoid robot production globally. Alongside the M7s, the facility employs various robotic arms and unmanned forklifts, collectively managing an impressive 6.5 million parcels daily. While humanoid robots are unlikely to replace human workers entirely in the near future, their presence marks a significant step in the evolution of industrial automation in China.
