 Amazon's new robotic technology is set to make work easier, and safer for employees?

Amazon recently unveiled a demonstration of a new robot it's currently working on. Amazon also revealed that it currently has over 5,20,000 robot drive units. These units work closely with employees to make workplaces safer, more efficient, and more secure. Amazon is investing in and developing robotics like Proteus and Cardinal. Here's what you need to know about them.

Amazon Robots

1.  Metamorphic animal

A fully autonomous mobile robot, Proteus can move automatically through Amazon facilities using "advanced safety, perception and navigation technology developed by Amazon." The robot was designed to be used around employees and, therefore, does not have to be confined to enclosed areas. This allows the protein to have more possibilities, which employees can work with.

"Proteus will initially be deployed in outbound GoKart handling areas at our fulfillment centers and sort centers," Amazon said in a blog post. The company said, “Our vision is to automate Gokart handling across the network, which will help people reduce the need to manually move heavy items through our facility and instead allow them to focus on more rewarding work.” Let's focus."

2.  Cardinal

Cardinal Robot's advanced artificial intelligence allows it to pick a package from the pile, lift it and then read the label before placing it on Gokart. This will allow the package to be sent to its next stage. Amazon claims that the robot reduces the chances of employees injuring each other while lifting and folding large and heavy boxes in a small space. Cardinal is also more efficient at sorting packages, allowing for faster processing of packages within the facility before they are sent to their respective delivery addresses.

The Cardinal is currently being tested to handle packages up to 50 lbs. It will be implemented in fulfillment centers next year.

3.  Amazon Robotics Identity

Amazon's third innovation is Amazon Robotics Identification, or AR-ID, a scanning capability powered by AR that can use machine learning and computer vision to enable better, more convenient scanning of packages in our facilities.

Amazon's tracking system that allows users to track their goods through every part of the shipment process relies on scanning at each checkpoint. This step is made easy by AR-ID. With it, workers can easily pick up packages in front of the scanner and place them in the next container.

The AR-ID operates at 120 frames per second and automatically captures the product's unique code and scans it, allowing employees to manually locate the bar code and capture it with one hand while holding the package with the other. The need to scan is eliminated.

4.  Containerized storage system

Amazon also revealed a new robotic system to help employees retrieve items from higher shelves. This is possible due to the new containerized storage.

Amazon claims that the system can identify which content is in which pod. The system will then locate the pod, capture it, and remove it to give back to a worker. This is possible through what Amazon calls "a highly choreographed dance of robotics and software."

What is an Amazon Robotic Fulfillment Center?

Giant Amazon's robotic fulfillment centers aim to expedite the delivery of products by using robots for certain tasks, such as moving employees around shelves to reduce the time for orders.

Although Amazon's robotic fulfillment centers include a human element, they are in large part warehouses operated by different types of robots.

Where are Amazon Robotic Fulfillment Centers located?

Robotic Fulfillment Centers are strategically located throughout the US as well as Europe. For example, in the United States, the warehouse in Ohio is over 65,00 square meters (700 000 sq ft).

What types of robots and devices can we find at the Amazon Robotics Fulfillment Center?

There's a lot of technology working behind the scenes in Amazon's warehouses and much of it may not be visible at first sight. Most of the technologies used are proprietary and something that Amazon has been working on for a long time.

The time to complete the order should be minimal. A review of some of the robotic masterpieces and tools at Warehouse that supports this larger goal.

Fanuc 6 Axis Robot

The Fanuc 6-axis robot is a giant robotic arm that can lift 1300 kg (3000 lb) of pallets 7 m (24 ft) into the air. It can be found for example in DuPont, WA, Amazon 8th Generation Fulfillment Center.
