Amazon Bipedal Robots

Amazon Bipedal Robots

Amazon is trying out bipedal robots from startup Agility AI, which makes a robot called Digit. Emily Vetterick, director of engineering at Amazon Global Robotics How Digit does in its “older-generation buildings, where we can’t put in traditional automation solutions because there just isn’t the space for them.

Agility AI has also partnered up with logistics company GXO for a pilot scheme, putting Digit robots to work at a logistics hub for consumer company Spanx. (That’s right, the robots are being broken in by sorting boxes of figure-flattering pantyhose.)
