Video: Amazon Tests Six Foot Tall Warehouse Robots
They won’t strike, ask for more pay or annoy higher ups with requests for ‘rights’. They’re spindly legged six foot tall warehouse robots being tested by Amazon.
Amazon says that it hopes to use the droids to help “free up” their human staff. That’s one way of describing it.
The robot is called Digit and was developed by Agility Robotics, a startup based in Corvallis, Oregon, backed by Amazon.
The robot, which can carry up to 35lb, can walk forwards, backwards and sideways, and can crouch.
Chief technologist at Amazon Robotics Tye Brady claims that while the robots will do way with some human jobs, they will create new ones.
Brady told reporters that that the robots will “eliminate all the menial, the mundane and the repetitive” tasks in Amazon warehouses, while claiming that it “does not” mean Amazon will require fewer staff, and insisting that people are “irreplaceable”
This isn’t at all creepy:
Amazon has long sought to automate its warehouses – with robots that won’t strike.
They also will not need ‘mindful pod’ breaks to short burst cry about how awful their lives are:
Imagine an army of these things deploying from Blimps and such:
