Amazon had demonstrated how well robots can automate a warehouse. Robot automation has become so important to the world’s second-largest retailer, the company bought a robot company. Amazon has introduced robots named Bert and Ernie, as well as the Scooter and Kermit robots.

The safety of human workers has also been elevated by Amazon’s ubiquitous use of automation. Amazon’s work is now filtering down to smaller warehouses. The concepts and technology that support warehouse automation have gone democratic. Smaller warehouses are not taking advantage of advancing robot technology.
