Amazon has announced a new warehouse robot filled with AI saying it has a feeling of touch. This allows Volcan robot to choose and store three -quarters of almost the elements that were stored in the company’s warehouses, a task that has been treated mostly by human workers.
“Volcan is a basic leap forward in robots,” Harun Barring saysThe Amazon Director of Applied Sciences, in a press release. “It is not just seeing the world, but it feels it, enabling the capabilities that were impossible for the Amazon robots yet.”
Volcan is not the first robot of Amazon able to capture the elements, but this is the first that is dexters and sensitively to a degree of maneuvering inside the compact compartments covered with fabrics that the company uses for storage-which is the same already. Move around warehouses by a different fleet of robots. Volcan uses an arm says Amazon, “The ruler is like stuck on hair credibility” to rearrange any elements already in a cabin and add new factors, with power sensors that help them know when to contact an object and the speed of its use to avoid causing damage. The second arm includes a suction cup to seize anything he wants to get out of the centuries, with a powered camera from artificial intelligence to ensure that it did not pick up multiple elements by mistake.
Artificial intelligence has been combined throughout the Volcan systems, which have been trained in physical data including touch and strength comments. He also “learns from his own failures”, building an understanding of how different things are spent when touching them, so Amazon hopes that Volcan will become more capable over time.
Amazon says Volcan is already working in Spokan, Washington, Hamburg, Germany, where half a million requests have been treated so far, and are used primarily to choose elements at the top and bottom of the fabric chimney eight feet. This gives human workers from bending or bringing stairs, which the Amazon says will improve the safety of workers and reduce injuries. Volcan seems to choose about 75 percent of Amazon shares, and a person will alert when he finds something that he cannot pick up. “Volcan works alongside our employees, and the group is better than either alone,” says Barcan.
“I do not believe in automating 100 percent,” says Barnes at Interview with CNBC This indicates the capabilities of Volcan. “If we have to get Volcan to do 100 percent of storage and selection, this will never happen.”
This may be a cold comfort for the company One million warehouse workersAnd, which may exceed the number of robots with an area of 750,000 robots, Amazon says it has been published over the years. You will now join and publish throughout Europe and the United States “during the next two years.”
