Amazon is approaching having an equal number of robots and human workers in its warehouses, with a record 1 million-plus robots currently operating.
These robots are used for tasks like moving goods for packaging, sorting products, and working with humans in fulfillment operations.
The integration of robotics has increased productivity at Amazon's fulfillment centers and reduced the impact of high staff turnover.
While Amazon insists the robots are designed to assist workers rather than replace them, concerns have been raised about the long-term impact of automation on employment.
