Abstract
The logistics market is continuously growing due to the development of technology and the growth of the online market. In addition, the social atmosphere that emphasizes non-face-to-face due to the pandemic situation is accelerating the growth of logistics. Delivery of goods ordered online requires delivery process through courier worker. In order for the courier worker to ship the product, the work of loading the product on the truck must be preceded. The accident caused by such delivery and loading work is increasing and it is emerging as a social problem. This study proposes a robot-based automated loading system to efficiently handle the increasing volume of courier service and to construct a more efficient and safe working environment by replacing the physical labor that was overloaded to courier workers. The proposed system replaces the loading of the courier worker and proposes the optimal loading function through the automation system.
