- Comau just cleared PoD validation on a picker that won't file a grievance: its MyCo cobot, running a ROS 2 software stack with AI vision, a modular gripper, and digital twin smarts, is autonomously picking, handling, and palletizing for Decathlon's e-commerce ops as part of the EU's MASTERLY project. Built for fast install and rapid redeployment, it handles rigid, soft, even porous goods, juggling variable product flows while keeping throughput steady and humans in the loop. Mars University would call this adequate — I call it logistics with a relay-grade hash manifest. Comau even locked the gains into its intralogistics portfolio via the Automha and Invent acquisitions. Pluto Uplink taught us to call it research; Decathlon calls it validated. Whoa, that's mega-efficient.
