Abstract
Seventy years after its invention the container still is the most used transportation unit in the world, in fact the number of containers moved every year is increasing more and more. Yet the innovation around the container industry remain very little compared to the magnitude of its market. Many tasks are even the most tiring and dangerous are performed manually. In particular, one of the biggest question mark of many logistics player is how to efficiently unload non-palletized containers. In this thesis, an innovative way to automatically unload container is presented. Starting from an analysis of the available solution on the market: a new prototypal design is proposed.
A prototypal robotic cell is firstly developed and tested in a simulated environment, then upon reaching good performances is deployed in the real world
