The integration of robotics into logistics systems has emerged as one of the most transformative developments in modern supply chain management. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of how robotic technologies — including Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), drone delivery, and collaborative robots (cobots) — are reshaping warehousing, transportation, and last-mile delivery. Drawing on global market statistics, case studies from leading corporations, and recent academic research, the paper examines efficiency gains, cost reductions, error minimization, and workforce transformation. The article also addresses challenges such as high implementation costs, cybersecurity risks, and the need for workforce reskilling, while forecasting future trends including AI-driven robotic systems and smart logistics ecosystems. Findings indicate that companies adopting robotic logistics solutions achieve up to 65% reduction in operational costs and a 99.9% accuracy rate in order fulfillment.
