Abstract. This paper presents an AI-based solution for automated parcel damage detection, combining machine learning algorithms with a custom-built mobile inspection robot. A mobile robot was designed and built specifically for this task, equipped with a vision system and sensing components. We developed a dataset of over 6,800 images and applied a tailored data augmentation process to better capture the variability found in operational environments. Our approach refines a YOLOv11n-cls-based model, achieving 98.50\\% accuracy, 97.\\% precision, and 99.74\\% recall on validation data. By optimizing the model for deployment on widely available hardware via CoreML, we reached inference speeds exceeding 251 FPS, ensuring rapid processing. An interactive dashboard was also created to monitor performance and facilitate comparisons between model iterations.
