Amazon is opening new automation opportunities by deploying its first robots that leverage force and touch sensing to improve material handling tasks.
One of the classic applications for robots at Amazon warehouses is centered around the “goods to person” (G2P) solution with the Kiva robots. The Kiva mobile robots present movable shelves, stocked with inventory, to a stationary human picker. The human associate picks a specific item for a specific customer order and singulates it for shipment.
