Announcement reposted from Amazon United States:
Since Amazon Robotics was founded in 2012, we’ve developed, produced, and deployed more than 750,000 robots across our operations network.
The goal of robotics technology within our operations is simple: pair employees with the right technology to make their workday safer, easier, and more productive—while helping us deliver packages to customers faster than ever.
We’ve taken robotics technology to the next level with the launch of our state-of-the-art fulfillment center in Shreveport, Louisiana. Equipped with the latest innovations, this site uses eight different robotics systems that work in harmony to support package fulfillment and delivery.
Additionally, these robots use Amazon Web Services cloud computing technology to operate more efficiently by storing and processing rich data generated by sensors, cameras, and machine processes. We plan to scale these robotics systems to existing facilities across the network.
