Mobile robots are intelligent mechanical devices. They are not only widely used in industries such as manufacturing and healthcare but also gradually making inroads into the logistics industry. With the rapid development of the e - commerce industry, the logistics industry is demanding higher efficiency and greater intelligence. Their applications in the logistics industry mainly focus on logistics storage and transportation, warehouse management, distribution, and other aspects.

The logistics storage and transportation link is an indispensable part of the entire logistics industry. In the field of logistics storage and transportation, the degree of industry automation can be enhanced through means such as transporting and handling goods. Meanwhile, the application of artificial intelligence enables mobile robots to achieve automated path planning, cargo positioning, data analysis, etc. Warehouse management is a crucial component of the logistics management system. Traditional warehouse management has issues such as low efficiency and high manpower input, causing a lot of trouble for enterprises. The emergence of mobile robots has brought great convenience to warehouse management. The large - capacity and high - transportation - capacity of robots can replace manual labor. At the same time, the automated technological approach allows robots to operate and coordinate in different warehouse environments.

Logistics distribution is one of the important links in e - commerce logistics. With the strong promotion of the Internet - based model, more and more express delivery companies are starting to explore automated and intelligent distribution models. Due to their strong sensing capabilities, automatic path planning, and autonomous navigation, mobile robots make distribution faster, more accurate, and safer, and also provide consumers with a better experience. There is also extensive application research in pharmaceutical logistics distribution. Firstly, since the research, development, production, and distribution of therapeutic drugs all have strict standards and requirements, a distribution process that meets these standards and requirements is needed. Mobile robots can control factors such as the weight and volume of items, thus ensuring the strict standards for drug distribution.

At present, with the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, mobile robots are gradually entering households and becoming part of smart home systems, enhancing the living experience of smart homes. They can also provide various services and add to the fun of home life. Mobile robots can achieve functions such as remote control, autonomous movement, and environmental monitoring in smart homes, providing better solutions for smart home systems. Although mobile robots have been applied in many fields such as logistics, healthcare, and smart homes, with the rapid development of technology and the continuous increase in market demand, the application prospects of mobile robots remain extremely broad. The future development trends of mobile robots mainly focus on aspects such as intelligence and fault diagnosis. Technologically, with the continuous update and application of artificial intelligence algorithms, the application fields of mobile robots will enter new stages one after another.

The potential and application prospects of mobile robots in the logistics industry are increasingly attracting attention and improving. In the future, mobile robots will introduce more innovative and practical products and solutions in terms of intelligence and autonomy, bringing broader space for both traditional and smart logistics.
