Amazon's chief roboticist, Tye Brady, expressed skepticism about humanoid robots at the Web Summit, stating they may be “technology for technology's sake.” With over one million robots deployed in its operations, Amazon focuses on function over form, contrasting the global market of over 4.5 million industrial robots. Brady highlighted that true innovation in robotics should enhance human work, rather than prioritize impressive appearances, noting, “There is no such thing as 100 percent automation.”
