Teradyne Robotics and Sereact announced a partnership on 21 October to combine Sereact’s Cortex physical AI platform with collaborative robots from Universal Robots. The companies say the system is intended for variable operations that have been difficult to automate, including returned-fashion processing and piece-picking.

The announcement says robots are already processing returned items at Zalando fulfillment centers in Greven, Germany, and Świebodzin, Poland, in work conducted with CEVA Logistics. The partners describe this as the first phase of a wider European returns-automation initiative and say they intend to expand to North America. Their statements about existing use and future expansion come from the companies.
