This paper introduces Amazon Robotic Manipulation Benchmark (ARMBench), a large-scale, object-centric benchmark dataset for robotic manipulation in the context of a warehouse. Automation of operations in modern warehouses requires a robotic manipulator to deal with a wide variety of objects, unstructured storage, and dynamically changing inventory. Such settings pose challenges in perceiving the identity, physical characteristics, and state of objects during manipulation. Existing datasets for robotic manipulation consider a limited set of objects or utilize 3D models to generate synthetic scenes with limitation in capturing the variety of object properties, clutter, and interactions. We present a large-scale dataset collected in an Amazon warehouse using a robotic manipulator performing object singulation from containers with heterogeneous contents. ARMBench contains images, videos, and metadata that corresponds to 235K+ pick-and-place activities on 190K+ unique objects. The data is captured at different stages of manipulation, i.e., pre-pick, during transfer, and after placement. Benchmark tasks are proposed by virtue of high-quality annotations and baseline performance evaluation are presented on three visual perception challenges, namely 1) object segmentation in clutter, 2) object identification, and 3) defect detection.

Sam’s Club, a division of Walmart Inc. and a leading membership warehouse club, announced the national, chain-wide roll out of Inventory Scan that will be added to their existing fleet of robotic scrubbers in partnership with Brain Corp and Tennant Company. The rollout marks the largest and fastest technology deployment undertaken by Brain Corp, an artificial intelligence (AI) company creating transformative core technology in robotics, and the first commercial application of its inventory scanning technology anywhere in the world.

ChatGPT can be put to a lot of uses, as we've seen - such as its recent introduction to gaming chat platform Discord - and the latest one is the AI being recruited to help consumers build a PC over at major US retailer Newegg. In fact, Newegg is putting the AI's skills to use for a raft of things across the retailer's site, but primarily to beef up the PC Builder tool, which is now labeled as'Build with AI' - and a clear caveat that this is still a beta experience. As you might expect, if you want to put together a PC, ChatGPT will help provide recommendations for various components that will go together well, or fit a certain budget. You can make a broad inquiry, such as a gaming PC with an Intel processor and AMD GPU, for example, within a certain budget, and ChatGPT will hop to it and help. This does feel like an early beta - which it is, to be fair - given that in our first test query for the AI to build a gaming rig, we were told that it "couldn't make a build based on [our] prompt," but that our input would "help improve this tool that's currently in beta."

Imagine if you could walk into a supermarket, grab whatever you need, and just walk out. Your account would automatically be charged and an itemized bill will be sent your way. Amazon Go stores are living examples of such a utopian dream. You can learn more about Amazon Go from the video below. And that reality is being powered by artificial intelligence.

ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence-based chatbot developed by OpenAI, is being rolled out by Klarna AB to provide what the payments platform calls personalized and intuitive shopping experiences. Online shoppers will be able to ask Klarna, through the chatbot, for product recommendations, as well as receive links to shop recommended products through Klarna's search and compare tool. While Klarna says it will not be using ChatGPT for payments, the company joins Stripe Inc. as one of the first payments companies to adopt the technology in any capacity. Stripe announced earlier this month it was incorporating ChatGPT's natural-language technology into its products and services. Klarna will enable the ChatGPT plugin for ChatGPT users, beginning with ChatGPT Plus subscribers in the United States and Canada, and gradually roll the technology out to other regions.

As consumers, we're constantly looking for the best products to meet our needs, whether it's in the realm of fashion or electronics.

In a world of infallible artificial intelligence, computers could do most of our work for us. Robots and autonomous vehicles could shop and deliver our groceries. Systems could ensure we don't break our budgets. AI could operate our transit -- planes, trains and cars -- without human assistance, and even make our dinner. But the current reality is that while there has been progress, humans are still required to do most jobs.
