Interestingly, AMZN bought Kiva and will deploy 10,000 robots soon. Very cool video here: http://money.cnn.com/2014/05/22/technology/amazon-robots/ http://money

Do you have another source for that video? It keeps playing the ad twice and then loading an unrelated video.

    I was hoping the one aditya linked was newer as the article was written this year. Did they reuse that old video or is there indeed new footage?

      Not the same video, this has more real world footage...

I'd be surprised if these aren't already deployed. I visited a logistics trade fair in Stuttgart and was impressed with the concept. That said, it will work for things in the "library" aka small goods, but let's see how they scale these up to deal with pallet sized goods. I've got no doubt they will, though developing these machines will not be cheap.
