As Amazon expands use of warehouse robots, what will it mean for workers?

Summary

77% Informative

Amazon says Robin and Cardinal robotic arms can lift packages that weigh up to 50 pounds .

A third , called Sparrow , picks up items from bins and puts them in other containers.

Proteus, an autonomous mobile robot that operates on the floor, can move carts around a warehouse.

The company says it's already seeing benefits, such as reducing time it takes to fulfill orders and helping employees avoid repetitive tasks.

Containers build up, we have to put them in different places, and then humans need to recover them. So communication between what our robotics system is doing and what we need employees in the building to do to recover is important. It's a collaboration of automation and humans to deal with real-world problems. It’s not a matter of having robotics take over but making it one system of humans and robotics working together to accomplish the goal of shipping the product..
