Business Insider: Mujin’s TruckBot


Mujin Launches TruckBot, an Autonomous Solution for Unloading Trailers and Shipping Containers. The robot uses MujinController technology – a modern system that allows it to work completely autonomously, planning the most effective scheme of actions. This minimizes downtime and maximizes performance. The TruckBot can be operated in tandem with the Mujin stacker robot to move boxes onto storage pallets. These pallets, in turn, can be transported by autonomous transport robots.

The autonomous robot can unload up to 1,000 cases per hour, solving a major bottleneck in supply chain operations, and will be showcased at ProMat 2023.

TruckBot is a robot with an unconventional form, built specifically to address the challenges presented by the unloading process of floor-loaded trailers and containers employed at most warehouses and distribution centers.

“TruckBot is a game-changer for warehouses looking to streamline their operations and reduce costs”

TruckBot was designed to attach to standard telescoping conveyors found at many existing loading docks. It reaches up to 52 feet into the truck trailer or shipping container and can handle boxes weighing up to 50 lbs, including containers with packing complexities and Mixed SKU loads


TruckBot will be working in collaboration with a Mujin palletizing robot to sort the cases to pallets for storage. Autonomous vehicles will then transport the pallets back to a depalletizing location to reset the cycle.
