Mobile Robot for Automated Trailer Unloading
lukas_m_ziegler · x · 2026-07-05
Bastian Solutions has developed a mobile robot system capable of efficiently automating trailer unloading. Operating without fixed infrastructure, the robot autonomously navigates between trailers and docks using LiDAR and omnidirectional movement. It utilizes a telescopic conveyor to pick boxes, a retractable mast for lifting, and a specialized gripper for precise placement inside the trailer.
