Pickle pairs classical motion planning with generative AI grasp policies, which lets the system handle varied package sizes and stacked freight without fixed tooling. The robot installs at the dock door and works without changes to the warehouse management system.
Deployments are positioned to pay back in under 18 months through labor savings and steadier throughput. Production use alongside warehouse staff at customer sites shows the system operating in live dock environments.

Pickle systems run in production at operators including UPS, Randa Apparel and Accessories, and Yusen Logistics, working alongside warehouse associates on live freight. The company sells through a robotics-as-a-service model tied to operating docks.
A reported 400-robot order from UPS points to fleet-scale demand for automated unloading. The June 2026 integration with Ambi extends the platform toward broader parcel-handling automation across customer sites.

The Pickle Unload Robot is a mobile system that unloads trucks, trailers, and import containers at the dock door using machine vision and suction grasping. It handles packages weighing up to 50 pounds at rates from 400 to 1,500 cases per hour.
The Dill Autonomy Engine is the software layer that plans grasps and motions, combining classical motion planning with generative AI policies. Site dashboards report on single robots, whole sites, and fleets so operators can track throughput.
