- TYPE_FASTER 5y agoYeah, that was a smart acquisition. They have hundreds of thousands of robots working for them now [0]. The Kiva Systems founders were inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame last year [1]. It's interesting to read in [1] that one of the founders is working with RightHand Robotics [2] on picking. I wonder if RHH would be another acquisition target for Amazon if they solve that problem.
