Amazon has unleashed its “first fully autonomous mobile robot” on warehouse floors.
Called Proteus, the new bot reportedly uses “advanced safety, perception and navigation technology developed by Amazon” to move smoothly among and around its human colleagues.
Proteus will start work lifting and moving GoCarts, the human-driven wheeled transports that move packages through Amazon warehouses, in the outbound areas of fulfillment and sorting centers. The company hopes to automate the handling of GoCarts, supposedly freeing human employees from the drudgery of lifting heavy objects so they can “focus on more rewarding work.”

Looks like I'm gonna be working for Amazon. Wonder if I can get "royalties" from the name usage?
