About AutoFork

AutoFork is Hakuou Robotics' autonomous walkie forklift for industrial pallet transport. The company presents fixed-position pickup and multi-pallet recognition modes, alongside interfaces for elevators, vertical conveyors and other logistics equipment.

In July 2026 Hakuou documented one AutoFork Standard model operating at Nippon TransCity's Mie Asahi Logistics Center. The robot picks finished-product pallets from multiple staging rows and loads them into a vertical conveyor, checking conveyor occupancy with a fork-tip sensor and waiting when required. The site handles about 100 to 150 pallets per day; this is a named customer-site deployment, not a claim about fleet-wide scale.
