X Square Robot is putting its robotic sorting system to a speed test. The system will attempt to sort 1,248 parcels of varying shapes, sizes, and materials in just one hour during a live broadcast on August 12.
In the quoted tweet, robotics expert Chris Paxton provided a benchmark: a human worker at a conveyor belt typically handles around 1,500 packages per hour, indicating that the robot's efficiency is approaching human-level limits.
