China Post deploys humanoid robots to sort 1,200 parcels per hour at Guangzhou postal hub

According to state media, the robots are capable of processing up to 1,200 parcels per hour as part of a broader modernization push by China Post Group.

The facility, located in Guangzhou in southern Guangdong Province, can allegedly handle an average of 6.5 million pieces of mail every day, with peak volumes exceeding 10 million.

To be able to deal with those numbers, operators have increasingly turned toward autonomous systems capable of working continuously with minimal human intervention.
