LG CNS, LX Pantos partner on humanoid-powered smart logistics

LG CNS is teaming up with LX Pantos to pilot humanoid-driven automation in logistics operations, marking a step toward next-generation smart warehouses.

The company announced on Thursday that it has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with logistics provider LX Pantos to develop a robot-based smart logistics system and deploy it at LX Pantos’ logistics center in Cheongna, Incheon.
