AI-assisted parcel and cargo sorting
AI evolution
A multi-task deep-learning vision system (pruned YOLOv3 detection plus pose estimation on an RGB-D-equipped robot arm) detects, locates, and grasps disorderly stacked express parcels in real time, successfully sorting roughly 90 of every 100 parcels across 300-plus stacked test items, automating the manual cargo sorting a hand laborer would otherwise perform.

AI-assisted freight damage inspection
AI evolution
Object-detection models (YOLOv11, YOLOv12, RF-DETR) trained on annotated images automatically flag physical damage on shipping containers, reaching mean average precision near 82 out of 100, with RF-DETR best at catching uncommon damage types, standing in for a freight handler's manual visual inspection of items for damage.
