Amazon currently uses some 1,000 robots by Kiva Systems, a company it bought for $775 million in 2012, to fill its customers' orders. Now CNN reports that Amazon will have 10,000 robots doing the same by the end of this year.
CEO Jeff Bezos revealed the plan to double down on robotics during a shareholder meeting and emphasized that despite the popular sci-fi theme of robotic uprising, no humans will lose their jobs as a result of the increased robotic workforce.

Sweet.
Will prices go down?
I love how companies with money and brains branch out and try things...all the while advancing their company.

Quick hijack
I guess we will all be getting a feel for this new board. Something like this topic is obviously a tech topic, but I could definitely still see it being placed on the OT because of social ramifications.
Back on topic
Noone might be losing jobs today, but I guarantee some humans would have gotten those jobs if the robots hadn't, and they won't be replacing some humans who leave in the future.

Seems about right way to go with the way they treat their human employees.
