After a 16-month proof of concept pilot program at the Brooksville, Florida, facility, Walmart decided to move forward with its latest deployment of the FoxBot autonomous forklift, Maurice Gray, general manager at the distribution center, wrote in a Walmart blog announcing the project.
The FoxBot autonomous forklift uses AI-powered machine vision and planning to unload pallets from a truck. The pallets are then moved to be inducted into an automated storage and retrieval system, which catalogs and stores goods.
