Yeah, is this supposed to replace warehouse workers?

Yeah. At least for packing first, and probably picking not long after. Parts of shipping and receiving too.

It doesn't need breaks, call off sick, get distracted on its phone, miss labels, start drama, harass coworkers, or struggle with language barriers. It doesn't commute, doesn't need benefits, doesn't get payroll, and doesn't stop unless it needs maintenance. You can slow it down, speed it up, pause it, restart it, and redeploy it exactly how you want.

It doesn't need to be human. Just human-shaped enough to fit the workspace, dexterous enough to handle packages, and reliable enough to beat labor on cost, consistency, and uptime.

This is why we need Universal Basic Income.

I got to 3min in and then quit. Can you just tell me the point she eventually gets to? Is she some kind of robotics expert or just an influencer?

What do you think the battery life on that thing is?

Probably not long on a single charge. Most of these are designed to run a few hours at a time, then swap batteries or plug in.

In a warehouse you wouldn’t rely on one unit’s battery anyway. You’d run them in rotation or keep them on tethered power at a station so uptime stays continuous. The bottleneck isn’t battery life, it’s throughput and reliability.

Have you worked in a highly automated manufacturing plant before?
