[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1087741, member: 43436"] No, the technology does not exist. We're still many years away from having a robot that could efficiently load a package car. And we'll be dead before the technology becomes affordable. FedEx Ground touts that most of its hubs are completely automated. People unload & load packages, but a series of conveyors and diverters scan & route the packages to the proper slide (although people manually scan packages to different degrees in many locations). UPS has integrated this technology into its newest & converted many of its largest facilities, but indefinitely shelved plans for wide deployment among many of its larger facilities... because it's not cost effective.
