Amazon is beta testing its new Stow and Pick robots in its fulfillment warehouses. These robots can manipulate and stow products efficiently, achieving an operational success rate of 85%. While their speed is comparable to human workers, they demonstrated some failure in handling items, particularly books, with a notable rate of damage. This suggests that while automation can enhance productivity, human workers will remain integral to the process to safeguard product integrity, especially for fragile items.
Amazon's Stow robots have shown an 85% success rate in stowing products, indicating efficiency but still requiring human involvement for quality control.
Testing revealed that while the Stow robot operates at a comparable speed to humans, it still mangled 14% of books during stowing operations.
