Sea & Air Global Collaborates with Coop Partner to Move a state-of-the-art Quadruped Robot Developed by Stanford Robotics

Developed to foster AI education, the robot demanded a meticulous logistics strategy from the company to ensure its timely delivery to Stanford University

Sea & Air Global Inc., a Coop member in Los Angeles, USA, recently completed a complex and high-profile logistics project—transporting a state-of-the-art quadruped robot developed by Stanford Student Robotics. They executed this project in collaboration with their Coop partner, Kopf + Lübben, a Coop member in Bremen, Hamburg, and Frankfurt, Germany.

Alex Santana, Director at Sea & Air Global, emphasized the complexities involved in transporting robotics. “To begin with, I would like to thank my Coop partner, Kopf + Lübben, whose collaboration was instrumental in making this project a success. Robotics transport is not just about moving cargo. It’s about safeguarding innovation and ensuring that these valuable tools arrive fully operational,” he stated.

The Stanford Pupper is a cutting-edge quadruped robot specifically designed to advance AI education. Consequently, transporting it demanded a highly specialized logistics approach to ensure its safe and timely arrival at Stanford University.

The logistics strategy for the Stanford Pupper incorporated several essential safeguards. Firstly, they housed the robot in a custom, impact-resistant container lined with shock-absorbent materials to prevent any movement or damage during transit. Secondly, they maintained climate-controlled conditions to protect its sensitive components. Moreover, they also employed real-time tracking to ensure continuous monitoring and visibility throughout the journey. Lastly, the team meticulously prepared documentation to facilitate smooth customs clearance, preventing any unnecessary delays.

Over the years, Sea & Air Global has steadily built a strong reputation for its expertise in transporting high-tech and sensitive equipment, successfully serving SMEs, educational institutions, and research organizations worldwide. Furthermore, the company’s commitment to precision and reliability has set it apart in the logistics industry. “When it comes to transporting robotics, every detail matters,” Santana noted. “That’s why our team specializes in managing the unique challenges of moving advanced technology, ensuring that each shipment reaches its destination safely and efficiently.”
