As Amazon use of warehouse robots expands, what will it mean for workers?
Briefly

The introduction of various robots like Robin, Cardinal, and Sparrow aims to enhance efficiency and reduce employee injuries, marking a significant shift in Amazon's warehouse operations.
Julie Mitchell stated, 'This journey that we've been on has taken a couple of years. We've been at this for over a decade, so we have a lot of core technology that we can build on top of.'
Mitchell highlights the robots' benefits, saying they've already seen reduced order fulfillment times and fewer repetitive tasks for employees due to automation, despite retraining concerns.
Amazon's automation initiatives, including robots designed to assist with lifting and moving packages, raise questions about job security for workers and the need for retraining in evolving roles.
