About Contoro Robotics
Contoro Robotics automates floor-loaded trailer and shipping-container unloading. Its system combines high-payload industrial robot arms with cameras, environmental sensing and DuoGrasp tooling that grips cartons from two accessible surfaces when top access is blocked.
AdaptAI builds a virtual representation of each load and generates collision-free paths around box position, size, condition and weight. InteleOp provides remote intervention when automation encounters an edge case, while the resulting operating data feeds customer-specific and foundation-model training intended to reduce future human intervention.
