Amazon's Robotic Empire: Jeff Bezos' Smart Warehouses

A 200,000 strong robotic empire is running Amazon's warehouses. From rolling robots, to robotic arms - they all work together in Amazon's smart warehouse system.
This documentary video takes a look at the automation technology working inside of Amazon's fulfilment centers. We'll take a look at the different kinds of robots Amazon has working for them, and the future tech the management are working on - to make the human workers work more efficiently like the robots.
______
Amazon's City of the Future
To see how this smart warehouse tech will help build Amazon's city of the future, have a look at my other video here:
• • Amazon’s City of The F...
______
Other topics in the video include:
• How Jeff Bezos and Amazon first started their robotic empire
• The annual challenge that Amazon hosts to help develop the challenging picking and packing robot - that could one day replace the humans
• The robotic vest that human workers wear with sensors that tell the robots humans are nearby
• Video footage taking a tour around the robotic warehouse
• And what is in store for the future of Amazon when it comes to expanding their robotic empire, and building smart cities of the future

    @Sounder its a fulfillment center, not really a warehouse. At an Amazon Fulfillment center we get all the products from varying companies that want to sell at the Amazon site we process, stow, pick, package and deliver it to a delivery station warehouse. The fulfillment center fulfills orders hence the name. The Deliver stations are called warehouses since all they do it store the packages and them send them out to customers the next day.

I think this is the future of a lot of jobs, it will be a synchronicity of partnership between man and machine. I mean look at just about all sector, even in medicine surgery is done with a doctor controlling robotic arms.

    Vic Šil I know. I dislike the tone of this commercial. It is selling how great things are for customers because of robots. But the employees are also potential customers, too. And they are people, just like the customers are. What is good for employees is good for everyone, because we are all in the same communities, these are our neighbors, our family members, our friends. If they can create a superior system for delivering packages, they can also use that ingenuity to make the jobs better, too. And everyone knows you need to have breaks, and coffee is a stimulant that improves alertness and concentration, which should lead to better performance and fewer mistakes. You can't, and shouldn't, treat people like robots. It's a mistake in judgement for them.

    My son went from working hard on a hay farm to being a package driver for Amazon for one dollar more an hour. He loved it at first but that love quickly wore off. As he kept making his delivery time goals each week, they kept pushing him more and more without any bonuses. It was never good enough. He was working 12 hour shifts. He was exhausted, going up flights up stairs carrying packages daily. The better he was, they more they worked him until he completely gave out. Once he tripped on a step and he was terrified to tell management so he wouldn't get yelled at n get a mark against him or get fired. I cleaned his elbow and super glued his elbow skin together and put butterfly stitches on it send sent him back to work. A year later, after 2 years of no raises, tighter goals to meet, no recognition for safety, and reaching his goals, he gave up n quit.Km 5 months ago

And no need for bathrooms, either.

Another example is floor washing machine. People used to operate previous generation (dumb) machines for the whole day every day, but now they just have to show them the store, so that it remembers the path and then robot will clean the store by itself and the operator becomes a technician, who services robots when it breaks, so instead of overseeing the robots, employees became their slaves, which is humiliating. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/06/06/walmart-turns-robots-its-human-workers-who-feel-like-machines/

But if these ever prove even mildly successful, this will virtually eliminate around half the Amazon workforce (100,000 workers) overnight as those displaced workers will be instantly out of a job. 9:27. Those human hand tracker gloves are more insidious than mentioned here. They ostensibly are to guide the worker's hands to the item to appear to make their productivity increase but in reality were snitch devices that reported back to Management TOT or Time Off Task when the worker wasn't constantly and dilligently working, thus the true reason they were rejected. 11:53. Amazon's Alexa should definitely be used in our fulfillment centers as a human-sounding voice would likely augment the associate's ability to navigate much more efficiently. 13:41. Amazon's Ring Doorbell sounds, in theory, like a wonderful concept but I can see huge invasion of privacy issues puting this into service. I would much rather be alerted via cell phone TM the moment my delivery hits my doorstep. It's funny that this isn't implemented already. This show is very informative and I gladly subscribed. However; I pray Amazon doesn't try to eliminate the human in every aspect of the fulfillment equation. After all, we can't all be sitting at home ordering crap. Somebody's got to work to pay for all this high tech delivery infrastructure.

    Fulfillment centers aren't even safe for non-disabled people .. They will put a 60 yr old woman to move 50 lb boxes of paper and bags of dog food when they have 2 21 yr old guys standing around doing nothing ..

    Lol in your dreams. Tesla will never be Amazon or even in its league. Teslas revenue is 1/10th of Amazon at rate of 15% growth rate. Lets say that Amazons sales remains stagnant for the next 20 years, Tesla will still not even be close at the end of that 20 years.
