Amazon develops a warehouse robot workers can speak to

Amazon has announced an updated version of its Proteus warehouse robot that can interact with humans using language, allowing workers to assign tasks verbally instead of through specialized software. This AI-powered upgrade is part of Amazon's shift towards automation, replacing human workers with robots. The new feature enables a more natural workflow, similar to communicating with colleagues. This change is significant for Amazon's warehouse operations, potentially increasing efficiency and productivity. Workers can now use voice commands to direct the robot's tasks.
