Having worked on some warehouse automation equipment briefly in the past, I'd say they can meet that definition. The equipment I worked on was called a tilt-tray sorter system. Packages would arrive along a conveyor belt and get put on a tray in a big train of trays (like a roller coaster for boxes). A scanner would read a bar code on the package (sense). The bar code would correspond to a particular loading bay where a truck was waiting that the package needed to be put on. (think - match code with loading bay). When the tray went around and reached the chute for that loading bay it would tilt up and slide the box down to where it could be loaded (act).
