Amazon made the announcement of fully automating a few of its warehouses, and tension also started erupting amongst the employees, as many feared that they would end up losing their jobs. However, Amazon has made it clear that none of the employees would lose jobs due to the robots. The company stated how robots will help “create many jobs.”

“Robotics systems had in fact helped create hundreds of thousands of new jobs within its operations. This includes 700 categories of new job types, in skilled roles, which didn't exist within the company beforehand,” the company stated.

Digit, the Amazon robot was developed by a start-up based in Oregon. The robot is approximately 6 feet and weighs about 65 kg.
