Army of robots invade the Amazon warehouse Bashny.Net

Amazon will use 10,000 robots in their warehouses to the end of this year.

General Director Amazon Jeff Bezos told investors at a shareholders meeting on Wednesday that it expects to significantly increase the number of robots that will be used to fulfill customer orders.

At the moment, Amazon uses about 1000 of these robots in their warehouses. Their increase will not affect staff who currently work there, said a spokesman for Amazon.

Robots are made Kiva Systems , a company that was bought by Amazon for $ 775 million two years ago.

All robots are linked in a complex system, planning and testing which will take several mesyatsev.No as soon as the system is working, it can save time and reduce costs.



While robots are already playing an important role in fulfilling orders in stock, it may take years before Amazon will send packets directly to the door of the house buyer using drones . Bezos expects that they will deliver the package to the buyer for about 30 minutes, but there are a number of legal and technological obstacles, through which should pass before this happens.
