When asked who they think picks and packs their orders at Amazon’s warehouses, my students’ common answer is: robots. So most of them are very surprised to learn that it’s actually humans (to a large extent). Apparently, this is about to change. Amazon just unveiled several new robots, most of them designed to do better than their predecessors in tasks such as sorting and moving packages in the warehouse (or across warehouses).
