A Day in the Life of a Warehouse Robot



Kottke reports: [edited]

Amazon announced recently that they bought a company named Kiva for $775 million. Kiva makes robots for fulfillment warehouses, of which Amazon has many. When I heard this news, I was all, robots are cool, but $775 million? But this short video on how the Kiva robots work made me a believer.

At first, I thought you were saying Amazon bought this Kiva. and I was sorely disappointed...but then I read on and was delighted!
