Amazon now has 100,000 warehouse robots

Amazon now has more than 100,000 robots inside its warehouses worldwide. But despite the sheer volume of robotic employees working in its fulfilment centres, Amazon insists robots will not replace human labour entirely - at least, not yet. The firm claims the robots do not have the'common sense' or'dexterity' needed for the job. Amazon uses its robots to carry stock around the expansive warehouse floors and group together all the individual items needed for a specific order. This is done to reduce the amount of interaction humans have with the products.
