Amazon has introduced a range of new robots aimed at enhancing its logistics network, with the primary goal of reducing manual labor for employees. Key robots include the “Tipper,” which automates package unloading, and the “Vulcan,” which uses advanced sensors to handle items in hard-to-reach areas. These technologies, initially deployed in Europe, are part of Amazon’s vision for safer work environments and improved productivity. Despite ongoing scrutiny over warehouse conditions, Amazon claims that its robotics integration has led to cost savings and increased efficiency in fulfilling over 75% of customer orders.
