Proteus. According to Amazon, Proteus is pretty talented and can safely navigate around human employees, which is a definite step up from earlier iterations of a robot that they had to keep locked up in a cage. Proteus robots apparently have advanced safety, perception, and navigation technology which keeps them from running over humans who may cross their path. Okay, so they have what appears to be a functional robot whom the company doesnt have to worry about calling in sick or raiding the petty cash drawer. But there are some downfalls, specifically labor concerns for Amazon. The company had to announce that they were not building robots in order to hire fewer humans. Heres a quote from the head of Amazons robotics division to Forges. Replacing people with machines is just fallacy. Okay. Not exactly reassuring for warehouse workers hoping to keep their job a long time. There could be lots of robots on the Amazon payroll, as more appear to be on the drawing board. According to a story in the Verge, the company is trying to perfect a root that can deliver containers to workers instead of having them risk serious back injuries by breeding or climbing to reach items. Warehouse workers are reportedly injured at twice the national average... https://youtu.be/S6ghy86nTM0 --- https://tinyurl.com/yckmathx <cite>DavidWilkerson posted [p:966054414] in Amazon rev...

Amazon now testing drone delivery: https://www.reuters.com/technology/amazon-picks-californian-town-first-receive-drone-deliveries-2022-06-13/ Amazon picks California town as first to receive drone deliveries June 13 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O)said on Monday that customers in Lockeford, California would be among the first to receive drone deliveries later this year. This would be the first time Amazon makes drone deliveries to the public, and it follows several pilots and mission-specific programs from companies such as Walmart Inc (WMT.N), United Parcel Service Inc (UPS.N) and FedEx Corp (FDX.N) . The online retailer said it was working with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and city officials for permits. The drones will have the capability to fly beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) and will be programmed to drop parcels in the backyards of customers in Lockeford, which has a population of about 4,000 people... --- https://tinyurl.com/yckmathx <cite>DavidWilkerson posted [p:966054556] in Amazon rev...
