Amazon warehouse robots | Automation could move us away from being employee-driven

E-commerce giant Amazon recently announced that, in a first of its kind move, it had introduced human-like robots into its warehouses, hinting at the growing integration of technology into workplaces we are likely to see soon.

The new technology, Digit, a robot with two arms and legs that can pick up and put down crates in the warehouse, is being tested to see if it can “eliminate all the menial, mundane and repetitive” tasks traditionally endured by human workers.
