Watch army of robots sorting packages in China

The Shentong Express (STO) factory in Tianjin(China) is known to be the largest fully automated sorting plant in the deliver industry.The robots are sorting out packages faster than you can can the word delivery. These robots are self recharging, i.e. they work round the clock.The robots can carry their packages away to different areas across the sorting center, and deposit them unto underground chutes.

All packages reach their destinations within three and a half hours. We need hundred experienced workers to do the same job at the same time. The robots work across a two thousand square meter area and between them, they generate at least 300 billion route combinations which requires a huge amount of calculations at the back end. The company also has a warehouse in the Chineese city of Hangzhou, where little orange robots do exactly the same work. The link for video showing an army of tiny little yellow robots sorting out packages at STO is provided below.
