Amazon is gearing for the #Robotics Revolution 🦾🤖🦿 and beginning to test humanoid robots that walk on two legs to deliver packages. The company has set up an indoor obstacle course to test robots from a variety of companies, including Unitree, a Chinese robot producer.

Eventually, humanoid robots could ride in Amazon’s electric Rivian delivery vans and autonomously deliver packages. That could help the company reduce its reliance on the hundreds of thousands of human workers that deliver its packages.

unsettling! Still, it’s hard to imagine they’ll be worse at the job than the flesh-and-blood team Amazon currently employs.
