How long until Amazon's warehouses are 100% fully robotic?

Or 99% fully robotic? (With a small team of managers to check in on the robots)

I'm curious what the percentage is right now.

You can go tour one. The robotics are pretty impressive.

It reminded me of the scenes in Beauty and the Beast where the teapots and brooms and candlesticks were all orchestrated together to clean up/set the table/etc.

I wasn't aware amazon warehouse tours were an option...

I think I'll plan one for when we're out of lockdown in my area.

Thanks for the outing idea!

I don't understand what this question means. Clearly none of the current employees' jobs have been automated, since otherwise the job wouldn't exist.
