ID Logistics and Terra Robotics began a strategic partnership on November 1, 2026, aiming to run a first humanoid-robot pilot under real warehouse conditions at an ID Logistics site in Germany within six months. The companies say they will first pick four or five candidate tasks—such as sorting, picking or packing—then choose a use case and a robot model from Terra's multi-brand lineup, which includes Unitree and UBTECH.

Over the past year each firm bought a Unitree G1 EDU6: IDA at ID Logistics in Griesheim and Heinz at Terra Robotics in Löhne. Both were trained in tandem to tell cardboard boxes from mailer bags and place them into shipping boxes with five-fingered tactile hands. ID Logistics runs about 450 contract-logistics sites worldwide, including 17 in Germany. No pilot site, live-test robot model, or financial terms were disclosed; the partners call this evaluation, not a network rollout.
