(Utterly unfamiliar with the space)
At least in the demo video, the robot is moving slowly enough to where I would say it waddles.
What seems odd is the form factor: why does it have to be bipedal?
Moving boxes and other things around a warehouse seems like it would benefit from a wheeled (omniwheels, ideally?) base, multiple manipulators, and a whole bunch of machine vision stuff.
- kentm 3y agoAmazon does use non-bipedal robots in some FCs. Not sure what the current state of rollout is, but they are small robots that lift and carry entire shelves to where pickers work to pack boxes. The act of taking items and putting them in the packages still requires humans, and I would imagine they’re keen to automate that aspect. No idea if these bipedal robots are able to do that work though.
