X Square achieved a sorting rate of 1,816 parcels/hour with >98% success in a 1-hour livestream, outperforming Figure's May run (1,248/hour) by roughly 45%.
- Architectural Difference: X Square uses the WALL-B system controlling two High-Performance 6-Axis Robot Arms, avoiding the constraints of a humanoid body.
- Technical Details: The system continuously replans to handle overlapping parcels, soft bags, and occlusions, maintaining station uptime instead of offloading exceptions to humans.
- Goal: Purpose-built grippers aim for high efficiency and lower cost in real-world deployment, taking over dull and dangerous tasks.
