Amazon VP of Amazon Robotics Scott Dresser shared last week in a blog post that it has launched two robot solutions to increase efficiency in its fulfillment centers: Digit, a bipedal robot that works collaboratively with employees on myriad tasks, and Sequoia, a technology that speeds up order fulfillment. Amazon Robotics’ Digit is in development at a site near Seattle. It is a mobile robot modeled after the human body that can move, grasp, and handle items. The initial use of the technology is to help employees with tote recycling, a process wherein totes are redirected once inventory is sorted out of them. Dresser noted that more opportunities will open down the line for the robot to work collaboratively with employees. The creation of a humanoid robot has sparked concerns about the effect it may have on Amazon’s workforce of almost 1.5 million.
