The Robots Making Your Online Orders Faster

The video discusses the role of pickers in warehouses and the pressure they face to increase efficiency. Fetch, a Silicon Valley company, proposes using robots to handle tedious tasks, allowing pickers to focus on more specialized work. This approach has increased warehouse efficiency by up to 30% without adding more pickers. Fetch trains its robots in a mock warehouse to navigate autonomously using lasers and cameras. The robots are designed to work alongside humans, enhancing productivity and safety.
