- The humble forklift has been the backbone of industry for more than 100 years - and now they’re getting a 21st Century makeover.
Fox Robotics have created the world’s first ‘intelligent’ forklift.
Beyond being self-driving, it can upload and offload packages completely autonomously.
What could this mean for the future of manufacturing?

The many forklift drivers around the world must be feeling this is unpalletable.
@@sirensynapse5603 I see what you didn't do there. Forker.
It can unload 25 in an hour I've unloaded like 15 in 10 minutes
@@desire_002 You can’t stop it. The technological wave is gonna engulf you, but I dig your resistance.
@DESIRE it's called scaling, they train it with the basic manuervuers, and doing it slowly for safety, and as time goes on it'll be updated for more complex manuervuers. The more new situations it faces, the faster and smarter it'll be.
@@st20332 i know all about it. Skilled forkies can move pretty fast probably too fast for a robot to trust at this time
First AI came for the journalists,and I said nothing, because I am not a journalist
Then AI came for artists, and I said nothing because I am not an artist.
But now infront of me as a certified forklift technician…. I am devastated
I’m a tech 2 bro as long as you update your skills you’ll be alright forklifts don’t fix themselves!!
Don't be devastated. Them things will only work on perfect pallets and in a perfect world. They're more apt to kill someone or run off a dock than a human is.
@@lennonhendrixamaru5800 Actually, they are very unlikely to kill someone or run off a dock. Limitations are easy to program into them. They never get lazy or distracted. They follow rules 100% of the time.
There are lots of potential issues with automated forklifts, but not killing people or running off a dock.
I have a feeling this will repeat for a lot of industries for some it will take time but eventually this is we ware heading
Al forklift mechanic 👨🔧 is next year
This is very cool tech, but only moving 25 pallets per hour is really slow
It's a start model....
But if two of these cost less than 1 person....
no breaks no days off 24/7
Bro, they call it a logistic chain
Im worried this fella will replace all my lazy co workers
If anyone thinks this sort of thing ends with just replacing working-class jobs, you’re going to be in for a real shock.
As someone who's done this job, they have a long way to go. I see in the video a bunch of pristinely wrapped pallets in brand new condition. Reality is most trucks are packed like hot garbage and the pallets are overlapping each other and falling apart, often with the entire stack of boxes leaning due to being in a trailer on roads and highways for hours or days. Also a human can go over twice as fast. It's a neat idea but there are a lot of things that will make these more of a nuisance you constantly have to babysit than something useful.
Probably why they are getting robots the way those pallets are stacked makes me wonder about the stackers 😂
But as an ex forklift driver I can admit what one forklift driver could potentially operate few of this machines at same time :( machines taking our jobs,not foreigners :(
Don't worry, the higher ups will lose their jobs before the scivies, that's just the fact
Yes indeed, and space is a premium so if you don't cram in those pallets then they'll have to wait till the next truck. Which won't make your customers happy at all.
@@curiositycloset2359 I hope so. But corporations owners won't lose their jobs. And also those who lose their jobs( whoever they are) will start to compete with others.
If you slow down this video to x0.25 at 3:22 you will see the reality of warehouse work and the difficult a forklift like this would imply!
Warehouse major problem is space and unless you invest a lot in space management your warehouse can not run an "intelligent" forklift or it will have a breakdown like real forklift operator!
Damn and I just got fork lift certified
Lol your still good these robots won't become mainstream till several years from now.
It looks pretty good but as a health and safety representative I would still be worry about it, keep a VERY close eye on it and if ANYTHING look remotely dangerous I would switch off those little monsters to protect the staffs and report to management.
This is the thing lol, you won’t be there. Health & safety is very different without human life.
@@braderley in a warehouse you don't only have forklift, we have 6 warehouse where I work and only 2 are restricted to forklift operator only because they are just for storage. The rest regularly have staff going through them.
elon musk, please fulfill your promise to make self-driving driverless trucks too and put those truckers out of work. thank you
@@berserkirclaws107 I used to work in one for 7 years. (RT and order picking) I know what the job is, and most importantly how you’re regarded by everyone around you lol
@@braderley so you know how demanding the job is and you can see that this machine in a normal warehouse is unlikely to be able to safety and efficiently to the job.
This video is amazing in so many ways. Props to all those guys!
2:18 if you was "use to the fact this is just driving around by itself" , would you keep looking every second behind you ?🤣
I know I wouldn't get use anytime soon!
I you keep looking at it - you not gona get any work done and they may need to replace you.
Doesn’t show the safety rated PLC. Trying to figure out what about it is the proprietary tech.
1st time I've seen them on a trailer 🤯 🙂 lfg.. these will be effective efficient cost savers... I've been watching their progress.. won't replace everyone... lol but some 🙂
Even the guy is half robot the future is here
We sell quite a lot of AGV’s at Toyota but I still think they are way too slow compared to regular operators
haha i like how the emergency stop is located.
If you come up with a robot that can replace us industrial kitchen workers, let me know, they can have it lol.
Do they use ouster lidars?
Hmm, I've seen the automated shipping ports that are slowly coming on line, too
This technology for fully automated forklifts/warehousing has been around for decades.
If it was going to catch on it would have done by now.
The only thing I can see forcing it to mass role out is the labour shortages in the coming years.
What fuel do they work on?
Finding cheap warehouse labor is hard. Always put the word cheap in front of labor and you're much more likely to get a true sentence.
Hopefully, people will stop lying about labor some day.
Great reporting! Fascinating technology
They taking our jobs :(
The guy’s comments about how hard it is to find warehouse workers and how warehouses are located away from large populations - comments like that are just dumb. Pay people enough and work them reasonable hours and you can find people to do the job. It makes me think of the adage “It’s impossible to make a man understand something when his paycheck depends on him not understanding it.”
And there goes more jobs due to money saving automation. 😂
I have no problems with robots taking over these mindless jobs.
Or were the reports coming out of Amazon with workers pissing in bottles like monkeys in a cage something u want to see more of.
There will still be need for customer service and maintenance. If all ur going to do in life is get a GED or highschool diploma and call it good enough, ur just gonna have a hard time. Unskilled labor jobs are out.
What is an unskilled job? Something u can teach a robot to do.
Power to the people, join a union
@TheSLOShadow power to the people? Join a union? 🤣 there aren't enough customer service jobs available, nor maintenance jobs, a lot of people rely on theses types of jobs to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads and if this automated forklifts were implemented countrywide tens of thousands of people would be out of jobs, the kind of thing unions are fighting against. 👍 your concept on reality is absolutely farcical.
@TheSLOShadow except there are specialised AIs that can do both the examples you gave as 'but there'll always be...' I guess the question becomes, if labour isn't the currency of workers, what will be?
Pretty sure these things don't maintain themselves.
@Daniel Casey pretty sure it takes less people to service them than to drive forklifts. 🫡
Job centres will be a new place for forklift drivers
Intelligence from the BBC next!😂
There goes my certification
It's hard to imagine it could stack tall pallets of product. Detecting a balance shift in the load would be difficult as well. Also, overhead objects in relation to both the mast and the loaded pallet are critical obstacles.
Pretty cool overall for what it is, though.
there's unloading and loading duties. the robots can definitely unload, but maybe the humans can load and stack. you're probably still cutting your work force in half...which companies will see as win/win.
Yeah they said somewhere I’d the forklift takes half as long as a person but needs no lunch break or a paycheck or sick days it will be worth it but for more random pick up environment this will not work
Few people realize just how heavy and dangerous a forklift really is. Wonder what the reaction will be the first time somebody gets killed by one of these things.
They have intelligent floor cleaners in the grocery market,soooo👍
And everyone who has got a toddler knows an intelligent fork would be great too.
I wonder what next generations will be doing for a living. Probably fighting for survival, as no jobs will be available :(
Detroit needs these....
Great to see people with disability doing good in life !
Will make 1000s of men redundant … BBC must be delighted
Paul's quickly becoming my favourite journalist!
Really? I've got a distinct adversarial gaze from him towards the people explaining.
defundpaulswages
He's nothing but a yes man
Short answer, no. Anyone who works in industry with machinery they will tell you the same. Machines are always breaking down
Even if a person is driving . it can still break down.
luckily is pallets not huge crate
sometime have to go down the ramp
and load or unloading from the trailer normal 40 foot container cannot fit
Giving limited oxygen to the Patient while wounded increases the risk of death.
Give food always for energy
And Water for hydration.
For freight companies I don't think it could work.
It’s already happening for freight companies, they’ve got automated TUGS in Singapore that tow containers autonomously to a human crane loader for loading
There is no distribution center that clean
Pallets break down every second this is not idea in an scenario.
Is Austin in England?
I guess the question becomes, if labour isn't the currency of workers, what will be? Many more questions stem from this too.
Labour the 'currency' of workers? The currency of workers is the mighty dollar.
@Mark Plain That's the currency that's given by employers, but the currency given in exchange for that 'dollar', is labour
(I'm not American, so I put dollar in quotes cause it's not natural to me)
Well my certification is kinda useless now😢
we still got some time though
We had these at a company I worked for, there will always be a need for engineers and operators to fix them 😂
This is a dumb argument that people keep spitting out while our industries are destroyed, salaries wrecked and living standards decrease. If it were true that it wouldn't be cheaper to get them. Fact of the matter is, this reduces jobs, and reducing jobs means raising competition for others which means lowering everyone's salaries.
Same. They had barcodes on all entrances and bays. 6 months later they went back to 100% human because there were too many issues. Technology has progressed since then but it will have to be very mature before my ex company would invest in it again.
They should make some horror films with crazy homicidal killer autonomous machines. Or maybe they already did.
The best drivers will be analyzed, their moves codified and then, an algorithm will be written… next task.
Today's news is no more forklift drivers in the future but a few robot controllers are still required.
Until that’s automated too.
@@springbok4015 AI developers are probably on that right now.
@@jimloth6091 100%
won't replace all forklift jobs
Why is there a seat?
No more guys in bars taking all the girls with their forklift certificates.
This is what strikes lead to
Look at the guy and his wife that made it.🤣😂... history truth
Please don't take my job😂
Well i'll have to find a new job then i guess
That’s sick dude these things are amazing… they are even way cooler when u get fired from your job just for them to replace u with these… deff didn’t just happen to me or anything
Love how they speed up the clips of the forklifts like they actually “work efficient”..😂
Can’t wait for my packages to get here next month!! 😭
Thank god only 25 pallets an hour, I can still out beat it for now once it hits that 48 an hour mark then I’ll start really worrying 😂😅
? We got shit like that in Japan America Germany and Sweden. Entire warehouses that pick their own boxes and pallets
1:47 Young hide the pain Harold
I'd lose my job if I drove a forklift as slow as that moving pallets
Everything Beeb is likeable!
What are the cost of these forklifts plus the cost of not hiring 4 forklift drivers. The Universities take any funds for research only to ignore job losses but hey only skilled graduates to program the systems. The employers are getting greedy saying no need for warehouse men .
it's called progress. every generation went through similar fears and came out better at the other side.
25 pallets an hr wtf ahaha a person would get fired for that time
Lil cyborg man with her
i said this will never work. but then heads of dhl, amazon, gxo, said i was a CHEP off the old block
Well, who would want to go into the industry now? Knowing they will be soon easily replaced.
dangerous if the machine is out of control
Ok so what kkid of compensation package will all of is that spent hundreds of pounds getting licenses for forklift be receiving. Sure this technology is cool, but what are people gua do for work. We do not live in a post-scarcity society, this technology is not something to be celebrated.
The price you’ll pay for the forklift(s) themselves and an engineer to maintain them all, you’d quickly find you’ll be cheaper sticking to traditional, human occupied forklifts.
Imagine a 7,000lb Roomba, what could possibly go wrong? Get the forks in at the wrong angle and everything comes down.
they spend millions of dollars in research and development, im pretty sure its more accurate than you think. The AI on those machines just keeps learning and adjusting accordingly.
@@Jimmyxsx Tesla can't pull it off, but these guys will? I don't think you understand the difficulty of accurately placing forklift arms under randomly shaped, often hand made, often broken, pallets. Also, the contents on the pallets are often oddly shaped and can be loaded improperly. They will have to standardize every pallet at the minimum, with regular human inspections, which completely defeats most of the point of a warehouse. At that point, you're closer to an Amazon fulfillment center.
@@eugenes9751 a warehouse is a controlled environment you cant do that in the street thats why tesla is struggling.
the sensors and cameras of the forklift are able to tell if the product on the pallet is tilting and will not pick up the pallet.
These autonomous forklifts work 24/7 with no breaks, lunches or vacations, it represents huge savings for many companies. Of course autonomous forklifts are not gonna work for every type warehouse.
@@Jimmyxsx The warehouse is. The pallets are not.
@@eugenes9751 thats why there are plastic pallets that dont breaks and most pallets with product are same height and width.
Its like building up before "The Great Gigantic Fall" . Can you imagine those things operating in a busy crowded warehouse???
I think that it's BS that all these businesses say they can't get people to work and pulling out their hair on finding people...
They're not coming because they don't want to work for crap wages..
Businesses really have to get their heads around this...
There goes another load of jobs thanks to the techbros. I found what he said at 3:05 to be hard to believe and sounds like a pre-planned excuse.
Can I suggest you google 'craigslist' for any major city in North America and check out the job postings for warehouse staff. I can tell you that here in Toronto, there is a dramatic shortage of warehouse staff.
And he also avoided the question about putting people out of jobs
Yes ...........
Unnecessary accidents can be avoided.
Nooooo my forklift certification
Driverless trucks unloaded by “intelligent“
forklifts Bezos dream is coming true.people stay home staring at screens
I think it should be investigated in the past and present in terms of political impartiality and credibility whether BBC was informed and deliberately withheld from the people the now-known state structures.
Giving limited oxygen to the Patient while on ambulance increases the risk of death.
Give food always for energy
And Water for hydration.
What’s this in reference to?
Whats great about this fella is that i dont have to pay it health insurance and it wont ever have a family to go home too
I mean yes. Its the future. For now its slow though haha. 25 an hour is not fast enough where I work.
We take away its bathroom privileges so it work harder
Not even close to the speed i can operate a forklift safely
What sorts of jobs will people be left with in the future? Everything is being automated so you need less people and thus more profit.
When there are no jobs for anyone, who is going to be able to purchase the goods the machines are making?
All the "useless" folk will be gone, the fortunate few will be serviced for free by robots. Money will be a thing of the past when there was once 8 billion more people.
Yes, robots over humans.
So how does this work when a pallet has fallen over or the pallet is built too high on the truck. .... Oh yeah useless because the warehouse sucks
Robots are taking all the easy jobs
Driving a forklift iss only easy if you know how to do it, i know because I messed up in all sorts of hilarious ways when I was learning.
They are replacing software developers as well. No one is safe.
Some can do very complex things. Like precision surgery. And the AI fighter jets being built right now manage quite complicated actions. Then the computers alone has reduced the amount of jobs substantially for long now… Although it has created many jobs too. And so will robot also likely create new jobs for us humans. Unless they completely make us their slaves (the computer games have already begun… making the youth their slaves). But obviously the best thing would be if robots and computers completely could replace us (when it comes to annoying, boring, and hard labour)… if we just could figure out an economical system where we all don’t necessarily need to labour in one way or another to get income. I bet some of my future no-job income that an AI relatively soon will present such a system for us!
@@abrakkehakka1357 the owner will always have a problem and the population will shrink.
So hard to find employers ? That’s lies ! And basically removing the blame for taking millions of peoples jobs away from them , what are forklift drivers going to do for work then ?
how many people can we put out of work today?
I bet garbage trucks could be automated.
All working class will soon be obsolete. The only way individuals can feel any protection is if they develop new creative businesses themselves or get passive business models which self-generate money.
I find it hilarious when the working class are feeling more and more threatened by automation and AI as it wipes out industries, this is only expected it's nothing out of the ordinary and people have had their entire lives to learn these risks.
We have a labour shortage it’s fine
How many will die becaue this 'bright' idea?
Some thoughts:
1.) We haven't even gotten self-driving cars perfected, the last thing we need is to equip them with long metal spears.
2.) The expense for these, initial and maintenance, will be hard-pressed to outdo that of established machines.
3.) The claim of warehouses having trouble hiring is bullshit. They have trouble with _retention,_ due to how they treat and pay their workers.
4.) What happens when these break down? They replaced the humans, so unlike traditional machinery where you can find a workaround via manpower, production simply stops.
5.) Did they seriously say it sees only a 4-5ft high plane around it? It should have more sensors, cameras, etc. SD cars have loads more, and they don't need to work in such confines and at such a pace.
6.) If you want to implement an automated machine like this in a limited environment, it would be more technically sensible to have it on tracks so there are fewer variables to consider.
Hey it's ok! The emergency stop button is inbetween the spears in case you do get impalled. And the safety box holding the safety network cables connecting to the safety PLC will ease your mind that once you've made it through the Jigsaw impalement game, the stop button will work.
Forklift certification will mean nothing.
So , making more humans , unemployed
Could ‘intelligent’ forklifts be the future of industry? Yes but not now because different countries have different pallets size example: European pallet size is different to Asia etc
So?
1:54 thats the oldest child i've ever seen (blue shirt)
I'd think about intelligent media and government puppets first!
The fin-Market have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stock;s and bonds. My portfoliio of $250k is down to $192k any recommendation;s to scale up my return;s during this crash will be highly appreciated.
The stock markett rally is still in force, but the major indexes, sectors and especially leading stocks are prone to reversals. I recommend you seek the guidance a broker or financiaI advsor.
I agree, having a brokerage advisor for inveesting is genius! Not long ago amidst the pandemic crash in March 2020, I was really having inveesting nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $550k with the help of my advisor from an initial $120k investment thus far
that's impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this advsors , my portfoIio has been down bad....who’s the person guiding you.?
my coach is "Jackson sten marsh." is highly qualified and experienced in the financial market.
Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy .to find your handler, he seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with him
finding labour so hard
talking about those who only offer minimum wages
That is a lot of people's healthcare & wage that can be skipped by installing an 5$ microcontroller into the forklift! A m a z i n g, lets replace traindriver and busdrivers next, also all the people in the mining & construction industry letsgooo 21th centuuury.
