Rossmann's own March 26 announcement identifies the robot, delivery date and operating city. Terra Robotics supplied one UBTECH Walker S2 for a pilot in Burgwedel, Germany, planned to run throughout 2026. The work begins with selecting suitable tasks and integrating the robot into existing logistics processes.

The customer describes a staged roadmap: identify use cases, introduce practical applications, then assess possible expansion. Repetitive and physically awkward work is the intended target. Rossmann does not name a completed picking station, publish cartons per hour or claim a chain-wide rollout.

This is useful evidence of a robot reaching a European customer's operating environment, with the logistics organization owning the evaluation. It remains a pilot. Battery exchange is a product capability, not a measured year-long uptime result. Buyers should look for task-specific acceptance criteria, supervision costs and the final evaluation before extrapolating savings to other warehouses.
