At the ‘Delivering the Future’ conference held in Boston, Amazon introduced its new artificial intelligence-supported robot called ‘Sparrow’ and started to run in production factories.
While it introduced a few other technologies, the most important development Amazon presented at the conference was certainly Sparrow. This artificial intelligence supported robot has functions that can do many jobs without any human intervention.
Sparrow is the first robot to detect objects of different sizes, collect them and process them without much human intervention.
The Sparrow robot, developed by Amazon’s engineers and started to be used in the warehouse system in production factories, has the ability to detect objects, collect them and process them without human intervention, thanks to its artificial intelligence. In other words, the robot can detect what the object is and organize it by separating it.
In the video shared by Amazon, Sparrow is seen choosing and sorting a board game, a vitamin bottle and a few sheets, carefully placing each item in the crates one by one. The robot does this using computer vision and artificial intelligence.
The number of ‘robot workers’ is constantly increasing in Amazon, which cannot satisfy its employees
One of the most frequent news we come across from Amazon is about its employees who are not very satisfied with their working conditions. Finally, the documents that emerged in the past weeks revealed the seriousness of the situation, and Amazon employees were not satisfied with their jobs and resigned in a short time.
There have been serious allegations about this in recent years. According to these allegations, the situation of Amazon’s warehouse employees was so bad that according to the confessions of former employees, employees had to urinate into plastic bottles during work.
However, Amazon seems to rapidly reduce the number of human workers working in areas such as warehouses and production, with its increasing ‘robot workers’. The fact that robots are taking more and more jobs out of human hands is a big topic of discussion, as you know.
The only human intervention required by the robot is the ‘separate these’ command. This, of course, brought up the argument that ‘it creates problems in employment’, as in every ‘robots started working in the factory’ news. What are you thinking?
