The work problem

In 2025 CJ Logistics became the first in the Korean logistics industry to run a pilot of AI humanoid robots. It had to confirm whether robots could actually carry out packing and sorting work on a real site. Whether software and robot hardware would run together without problems was also to be verified.

Technology and data

Working with a robotics specialist, the company deployed robots on real packing and sorting work at the Gunpo fulfilment centre. The stage covers verification right through to integrated operation of software and robot hardware. In addition, together with a physical AI specialist, it is jointly developing a robot foundation model (RFM) that lets robots see, judge and act. The goal is to build a robot operating scheme tailored to each centre.

Results

CJ Logistics said this pilot opened a new chapter in logistics automation. The robots were put into the processes of a fulfilment centre that is actually in operation, not into test equipment. From 2026 the company plans to extend the robot system to its main distribution centres and bring forward AI centred autonomously operated centres.

Limits and open questions

It is still at the verification stage. The source does not disclose throughput or labour saving figures. The plan to expand in 2026 does not mean deployment will be completed at every centre.
