Phase Two: Amazon 'Hivemind' Robots

Updated: Jan 21, 2022

One of the biggest companies in the world is Amazon, they mainly deal as a online retailer that got huge success due to its next day deliveries. This could never be possible at the size it is today without the systems they have in place at their warehouses. Here is a video talking out what happens inside these Amazon fulfilment centers.

A lot for the process shown in this video shows a perfect unison of human and machine cooperation to achieve a maximum amount of efficiency. but the part of the video that really fascinates me for this line of research is the amazon robotic fulfilment centers.


In these centers the stock is moved round by robots and a few employees. the impressive thing about this is there are hundreds of different robots and all of them can be carrying different towers of stock above them, these means the network of robots need to move in perfect unison to not collied with each other.

here you see all the robots that carry the towers of stock

I find it fascinating that these robots are all pretty much. small forklifts that carry all these items that people want from Amazon not to mention they constantly have to make sure they don't knock into each other or cause traffic jams.


Areas to take forward with this:

I think this is really interesting and works amazingly with the idea of how Boston Dynamics robots all do dance routines together. the idea of what a group of robots can achieve is amazing.
