Google has teamed up with RightHand Robotics to improve robotic picking systems using AI trained by Google DeepMind. The new system helps robots pick and sort items more accurately in warehouses and distribution centers. This technology uses advanced machine learning to understand how to handle different objects, even if they are oddly shaped or packed tightly together.

RightHand Robotics builds robotic systems that automate order fulfillment. Their latest version now includes models developed by Google DeepMind. These models allow the robot to learn from past actions and make better choices in real time. The result is faster and more reliable picking, which reduces errors and speeds up shipping.
The collaboration brings together Google’s strength in artificial intelligence and RightHand’s experience in warehouse automation. The updated system can adapt quickly to new products without needing manual reprogramming. It recognizes items through vision sensors and decides the best way to grasp them. This makes it useful for retailers and logistics companies that handle a wide variety of goods.
Testing shows the new system improves success rates in picking tasks by a significant margin. It also cuts down on the time needed to train robots for new environments. Companies using this technology can scale operations more easily during busy seasons like holidays or sales events.
Google DeepMind’s training methods focus on real-world challenges. They use data from actual warehouse settings to teach the robots how to respond to unpredictable situations. This practical approach helps the system perform well outside controlled lab conditions.

The integration marks a step forward in making AI useful for everyday industrial tasks. Businesses that adopt this system gain a tool that learns continuously and works alongside human staff.
