Amazon has prioritised robotization as concerns regarding workplace safety conditions in its warehouses continue to create a disturbing image and the business suffers a labour shortage. An earlier this year leaked document cautioned that Amazon may be running out of personnel to recruit in certain places. The business launched a new collection of robots in June, including the completely autonomous Proteus, meant to carry vast racks of merchandise throughout the warehouse, and Cardinal, a robotic arm for picking up and transferring parcels weighing up to 50 pounds.
