Amazon has introduced a new warehouse robot named Vulcan, designed to enhance operational efficiency in its fulfillment centers. Vulcan features two arms equipped with force sensors and advanced technology, enabling it to handle around 75% of the company's stock. It has already made significant impacts in warehouses in Spokane and Hamburg, processing over half a million orders. While critics view the introduction of robots as a threat to employment, Amazon maintains that such innovations aim to improve safety rather than replace human workers.
The two-armed Vulcan employs force sensors to sense objects, enabling it to rearrange items and grasp them effectively, enhancing warehouse efficiency.
Trained on physical data for touch feedback, Vulcan can process around 75% of Amazon's stock and is capable of ongoing self-improvement.
