Amazon Hits One Million Robots in Warehouses as Automation Accelerates
Amazon has deployed its one-millionth warehouse robot, cementing its position as a leader in logistics automation. The milestone spans 300 global facilities and follows a decade of robotic integration since the program's 2012 inception. New DeepFleet routing software reportedly reduces machine travel distances by 10%, boosting delivery efficiency.
The robotics expansion comes as Tesla prepares to deploy humanoid factory workers later this year. Pew Research data suggests manufacturing roles face the highest displacement risk from automation—a trend potentially accelerating workforce transitions into tech-driven sectors like cryptocurrency, where decentralized systems offer alternative economic participation models.
