Amazon developing humanoid robots to replace delivery drivers
Amazon showcases its 640,000-square-foot Stone Mountain, Georgia facility, featuring Roomba-like bots and automated palletizers. The tech giant reportedly develops humanoid robots to deploy from vans, potentially replacing human drivers. While Amazon offers public tours at 28 of its 1,200 US locations to boost trust, the Guardian reporter notes strict security denied him bathroom access, forcing him to use the parking lot. This highlights ongoing criticisms regarding worker conditions.
