Uniqlo's robots have already replaced 90% of its human workers at its flagship warehouse, now they've cracked the difficult task of folding T-shirts
According to The FT, Uniqlo's parent company, Fast Retailing, has partnered with a Japanese startup that develops industrial robots to create a two-armed robot that is able to pick up t-shirts and box these up, a task that could previously only be done by a human.
This is an important innovation as it could enable this factory, which has already replaced 90% of its workers with robots, to roll out a fully automated process.
