LG CNS Unveils Logistics Robot Mobile Shuttle for Cold Chain Logistics

LG CNS was accelerating its global expansion with a new next-generation logistics robot that operates uninterrupted 24/7, even in extreme cold warehouses at -15°F (-26°C). The company unveiled its "Mobile Shuttle", intralogistics automation robot at MODEX 2026 in Atlanta, North America's largest logistics trade show. Designed for stable performance in harsh subzero environments, the robot extends its applications to cold chain logistics in food and retail, while helping create a safer working environment for on-site personnel. The Mobile Shuttle moves through warehouse racks at speeds of up to 4.9 ft/s(1.5 m/s) and can carry loads of up to 3,307 lbs(1,500 kg) each, with dozens or even hundreds of units operating simultaneously within the warehouse racks. Its four-way shuttle architecture, which enables movement in all directions – up, down, left, right, forward, and backward – greatly reduces routing constraints and supports flexible logistics flows to maximize operational efficiency. A high-density storage design delivers more than 30% higher storage efficiency compared to conventional two-way systems that are limited to forward and backward movement. LG CNS has enhanced user convenience by incorporating an AI agent into its Mobile Shuttle. In exceptional situations such as urgent shipments, on-site operators can directly control the shuttle robot simply by entering natural language commands into a chatbot. When an issue occurs with the shuttle robot, the AI agent identifies the cause and suggests appropriate response measures to the operator, improving both stability and responsiveness. To further enhance logistics performance, LG CNS has integrated mathematical optimization technologies into the system. By analyzing the shuttle robots' routes and operational status in real time, it minimizes bottlenecks and establishes optimized plans for inbound and outbound processes, automatically assigning the most efficient tasks to each shuttle robot. The Mobile Shuttle is designed to safely transport both general cargo and cylindrical items such as automotive batteries. It also has secured UL certification, a key safety standard for electrical, electronic, and mechanical products in the United States. Companies across a variety of industry verticals, including manufacturing, logistics, and automotive, can choose from different shuttle robot types and materials to build logistics systems tailored to their specific operating environments.
