A humanoid robot named Digit from Agility Robotics is being tested in an Amazon warehouse in the US state of Texas. It is a humanoid robot with arms and legs that can grip, lift and manipulate. Parcels are no different from workers.
Right now, though, Amazon has about 750,000 robots working in factories around the world, including robots that are used to move boxes inside warehouses. that can carry loads weighing up to 35 pounds, but the transition to humanoid robots is still relatively new That raises concerns for the future of the company’s 1.5 million human workers.

However, Digit’s primary ability is to perform many human tasks. Especially work that is repetitive. have physical needs or work that is dangerous to humans

 

But Agility Robotics isn’t the only one developing humanoid robots. From startups to major technology companies taking part in the competition, there are also Like Mr. Elon Musk’s Tesla, which is developing a humanoid robot named Optimus after Mr. Musk said that “One day robots will be more important than company cars.”

The humanoid robot market is expected to be worth approximately $150 billion per year worldwide within 15 years, and humanoid robots could be in use in factories between 2025 and 2028. In other areas of work within 2030-2035

Meanwhile, Amazon is investing heavily in robotics. By announcing the fund $1 billion worth of ‘industrial innovation’ last year But he insists that robots will not replace humans. But it will be a newly created job position. And it will give employees the freedom to deliver products to customers better.
