Abstract: A system is provided for robotically placing dunnage strips for receiving wallboard panels, including providing a robot with a robot arm with a tool having at least one suction cup and a glue dispenser; presetting in the robot a plurality of dunnage location programs, each associated with a particular wallboard panel size or thickness; and providing a dunnage cube with a plurality of stacked dunnage strips. Upon the selection of a preset wallboard panel dunnage location, the robot arm uses the suction cup to select and lift a strip from dunnage cube. Then, the robot arm places the strip upon the warehouse floor in a predesignated location per the preset program, and the glue dispenser on the robot deposits glue upon the strip. The robot repeats the dunnage strip selection, lifting, placement and deposition of glue to multiple dunnage strips until the preset arrangement is completed per the program.
