Scobleizer shared a test video of X Square's parcel sorting robots. Powered by the WALL-B embodied AI model, the robots sorted 10,000 packages in 5 hours and 14 minutes, averaging 1,911 per hour (about 1.88 seconds per box). Unlike typical demos showing a single perfect grab, this test highlights the robots' ability to maintain consistency over long shifts. Figure AI's humanoid robot was also mentioned for comparison.
