Ever wonder how Amazon gets your package to you so quickly? Robots play a big role in that.
In 2012, Amazon acquired Kiva Systems— a manufacturer of robotic systems — for $775 million and transformed them into Amazon Robotics. These autonomous robots handle the picking and packaging process at Amazon's large warehouses.
Here's an inside look at the robots handling your Amazon packages:
The robots work in perfect harmony to transport merchandise around the fulfillment center.
First, human beings fill the shelves with items. The items don't have to be shelved in any particular order — as long as the robot knows where an item is on the shelf, it will deliver it when it's needed.
The robots will then bring the items to a different set of Amazon workers, who will grab them to place in boxes. Amazon workers used to have to roam the shelves searching for products to fill orders. Now the robots bring what is needed autonomously.
