Rossmann is testing a UBTech Walker S2 humanoid robot from Terra Robotics, based in Löhne, at its logistics facility in Burgwedel. According to the company, the robot is designed to assist specifically with repetitive and ergonomically challenging tasks, thereby reducing the workload on logistics staff. The Walker S2 was developed for industrial and logistics applications, can change its own batteries, and has 52 degrees of freedom, which allow it to surpass human mobility in many areas, the company said.
