For those wondering, the footage took place at Ocado’s grocery warehouse, in the south-east of London. I’d be curious to see something similar in Amazon’s ware

    That big area where it is just stacks of bins and the robots that move them around would be a great place to set a chase/fight scene in an action movie.

    OMG this looks so inefficient compared with OP. I'm guessing the difference is that grocery stores handle 20-50,000 different SKUs while Amazon has to handle 100,000s+.

      I suspect it's more efficient. The Amazon video mentioned that they found randomizing bin locations to be more efficient than any grouping. That's not particularly surprising when one considers that many non-physical storage algorithms benefit from randomization, but it's kind of fascinating that the physical storage of goods is a chaotic mess apart from the database that maps products to bins.
