A team of cute robots have become the hardest warehouse worker<\/a> at one of China’s largest courier firms.<\/p>\n

A viral video showing an army of little orange robots sorting out packages in a warehouse worker in eastern China is the latest example of how machines are increasingly<\/a> taking over menial factory work on the mainland.<\/p>\n

The behind-the-scenes footage of the self-charging robot army in a sorting centre of Chinese delivery powerhouse Shentong (STO) Express was shared on People\u2019s Daily\u2019s social media<\/a> accounts on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The video showed dozens of round orange Hikvision robots \u2013 each the size of a seat cushion \u2013 swivelling across the floor of the large warehouse workers in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.<\/p>\n

Small but strong: Officially known as the HIKVISION intelligent sorting robot, the machine can carry up to\u00a011 pounds and travel<\/a> at a maximum speed of\u00a09.8 feet (three metres) per second Photo:Dailymail<\/p>\n

The orange machines, each 7.5 inches (19cm) tall, took their posts at STO Express last November.<\/p>\n

Measuring 18 inches (46cm) long, 15 inches (38cm) wide and 7.5 inches (19cm) tall, one ‘Little Orange’ worker weighs 26 pounds (12kg) and can carry a parcel as heavy as 11 pounds (5kg).<\/p>\n

It travels at a maximum speed of 9.8 feet (three metres) per second, and finds its direction with the help of QR codes and its own camera.<\/p>\n

The machine takes an hour and a half to charge. Once it’s fully charged, it can work eight hours non-stop.<\/p>\n

These ‘Little Orange’ robots follows a pre-set route and carries parcels from the assembly line to the corresponding departure gates for them to be sent to different parts of the world.<\/p>\n

In STO Express’s warehouse worker in Linyi, Shandong Province, 300 ‘Little Orange’ robots work together to sort 20,000 parcels an hour.<\/p>\n

Compared to the traditional sorting method, these self-charging robots help the company save 70 per cent of manpower in the 21,000-square-foot warehouse worker.<\/p>\n
