Overview
The iLoabot-M is the tracked autonomous unloading robot that Shanghai-based Senad announced in 2023, the first series member of the iLoabot family. It is designed for the step logistics calls the 'last 20 metres': while sorting, stacking and transport became largely automated, vehicle unloading remained the job where a worker climbs into the compartment and lifts cartons down. On a signal the robot drives to the dock by itself, enters the container or box truck, determines the position and condition of every carton with 3D vision, picks the carton with the heavy-duty 7-axis arm and places it on the conveyor; behind it the carton flows into the sorting, palletising or cage-stacking line.
The 1900 × 1280 × 2080 mm body weighs 1300 kg and runs on a three-phase 380 VAC supply; the vacuum negative-pressure source is built into the body. The default arm and end effector carry cartons of 2-30 kg and between 150 × 150 × 150 mm and 600 × 600 × 600 mm, and the unloading rate reaches up to 400 cycles per hour; suction groups and grippers change quickly, so bagged goods and similar loads are picked as well. The crawler differential chassis crosses 400 mm gaps and 800 mm obstacles and climbs gradients up to 45 degrees; the distributed load-bearing track design keeps pressure on the vehicle floor low, and extra-high and extra-wide compartments and ramped approaches are within the operating envelope. 20 ft, 40 ft and 40 ft HQ containers and box trucks are on the compatibility list; the operating temperature is -20 to 60 °C. Multimodal perception, a physics-constrained world model and high-precision motion control adapt to different vehicle and carton types; the robot integrates with the WMS and WCS by itself, and the workflow is configured for the site on the low-code platform. The safety layer consists of 360° dual LiDAR, safety radar, intelligent alarms, push-button and intelligent emergency stop, vacuum monitoring, a gripper safety bumper, warning lights and electrical protection. Its rollout from the Shanghai factory into service in March 2024 was reported by Xinhua; it works in tobacco, beverage and parcel logistics, and the installation in which it works together with the iLoabot-P. It unloaded live inside a container at CIIF and CeMAT ASIA in 2025 and at LogiMAT Stuttgart on 24-26 March 2026. It is supplied to Turkey with enterprise supply, commissioning and engineering support; investment is set by corporate quotation against configuration, integration scope and quantity.

iLoabot-M: Technical AnalysisDesign decisions, comparison table and evaluation
The last 20 metres: from the dock into the vehicle
Sorting, stacking and transport inside the warehouse are largely automated; vehicle unloading remained the step where a worker climbs into a compartment heated by the summer sun and lifts cartons down. The reason is simple: compartments, docks and loads are designed to human dimensions, every truck stops at a different height and cartons are stacked irregularly. The iLoabot-M is designed for exactly this gap. On a signal it drives to the dock by itself, enters the vehicle, determines the position and condition of every carton with 3D vision, guides the arm to pick it and places it on the conveyor; the unloaded carton flows on to sorting, palletising or cage-stacking systems behind. A physics-constrained world model and multimodal perception adapt to different vehicle and container types; 20 ft, 40 ft and 40 ft HQ containers and box trucks are on the compatibility list, and neither the dock nor the vehicle floor needs modification.
Why a tracked chassis
Between the dock and the compartment there are gaps, sills and gradients; wheeled platforms catch or slip there. The iLoabot-M's crawler differential chassis crosses 400 mm gaps and 800 mm obstacles, climbs gradients up to 45 degrees and spreads the pressure of the 1300 kg body across the vehicle floor with its distributed load-bearing track design. The same chassis works on the dock, outdoors and inside the vehicle; extra-high or extra-wide compartments and ramped approaches are inside the operating envelope. The body is compact enough to turn inside a container: 1900 × 1280 × 2080 mm, running through the shift on a three-phase 380 VAC supply with the vacuum source built into the body.
Arm, end effector and safety
The heavy-duty 7-axis arm carries 2-30 kg cartons between 150 mm and 600 mm with the default end effector; the end effector changes quickly, and the suction group and grippers cover cartons, bags and similar loads. For the parcel sector a zone-controlled suction layout holds packages of different shapes; for the beverage sector a self-closing valve mechanism prevents the product from dropping if the vacuum fails. The safety layer is built for the site: 360° dual-LiDAR obstacle avoidance, safety radar, intelligent alarms, automatic and push-button emergency stop, vacuum monitoring, a gripper safety bumper, warning lights and electrical protection. An unloading rate of up to 400 cycles per hour turns the time per vehicle into a plannable figure.
In the field: series use and LogiMAT 2026
The iLoabot-M was announced in 2023; its rollout from the Shanghai factory into service in March 2024 was reported by Xinhua. It works at tobacco, beverage and parcel logistics operators; the installation in which it works together with the iLoabot-P cage and pallet robot. In 2025 the robot demonstrated the loading and unloading flow live at CIIF and CeMAT ASIA in Shanghai; on 24-26 March 2026 it was presented to the European market at LogiMAT in Stuttgart, unloading inside a container. The iLoabot-M keeps the same autonomous flow in high-ceiling and wide compartments and on docks and gradients; the robot's own records carry per-shift carton counts and cycle data into the WMS.
Applications
- Distribution-centre dock: unmanned unloading of incoming containers and box trucks, transfer of cartons to the conveyor.
- Tobacco and beverage logistics: vacuum-monitored grip on heavy and sensitive cartons, valve safety against vacuum loss.
- Parcel and e-commerce: zone-controlled suction layout for packages of different shapes and sizes.
- Factory dispatch yard: cartons from production taken from truck to warehouse, integrated with palletising and cage-stacking lines.
- Cold and hot climates: dock, outdoor and vehicle-interior tasks between -20 and 60 °C.
- Multi-vehicle shifts: planned unloading of consecutive trucks at up to 400 cycles per hour.

Summary
The iLoabot-M turns vehicle unloading from human work at the dock into the robot's own task: it enters the container on a tracked chassis, finds the carton with 3D vision, picks it with the 7-axis arm and places it on the conveyor; 400 mm gap, 800 mm obstacle and 45 degree gradient capability closes the uncertainty on the dock side, and the WMS and WCS link makes unloading part of the warehouse flow. It is a product that has worked in tobacco, beverage and parcel logistics since 2023 and was presented to Europe at LogiMAT Stuttgart in 2026.

iLoabot-M: Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions about the Senad iLoabot-M.
What is the iLoabot-M?
Senad's tracked autonomous unloading robot: it enters the container or box truck by itself, finds the cartons with 3D vision, picks them with a 7-axis arm and places them on the conveyor. The 1300 kg body works in 20 ft, 40 ft and 40 ft HQ containers and box trucks and unloads at up to 400 cycles per hour.
Which cartons and loads does it handle?
With the default arm and end effector, cartons of 2-30 kg and between 150 × 150 × 150 mm and 600 × 600 × 600 mm. The end effector changes quickly: with suction groups and grippers it picks bagged goods and similar loads; there is zone-controlled suction for parcels and a self-closing valve mechanism for beverage cartons.
Does the dock or the vehicle floor need modification?
No. The crawler differential chassis crosses 400 mm gaps and 800 mm obstacles and climbs gradients up to 45 degrees; the distributed load-bearing track design keeps pressure on the vehicle floor low. Extra-high and extra-wide compartments and ramped approaches are within the operating envelope.
How does it integrate with warehouse software?
The robot integrates with the WMS and WCS by itself: it takes the task from the incoming-vehicle signal, reports carton status and transfers the unloaded cartons to the conveyor. The workflow is configured for the site on the built-in low-code platform; with palletising and cage-stacking systems an end-to-end unloading line is built.
What is the safety equipment?
360° dual-LiDAR obstacle avoidance, safety radar, intelligent alarms, push-button and intelligent emergency stop, vacuum monitoring, a gripper safety bumper, safety warning lights and electrical protection. When a vacuum loss is detected, the stop engages before the product drops.
How is the iLoabot-M sourced in Turkey?
It is sourced on a project basis; import, customs clearance, commissioning, operator training and after-sales support are part of delivery. Investment is set by corporate quotation against end-effector configuration, conveyor and stacking integration, commissioning scope and quantity.
