Was wird es für die Arbeiter bedeuten, wenn Amazon den Einsatz von Lagerrobotern ausweitet?

From the article

>Two robotic arms named Robin and Cardinal can lift packages that weigh up to 50 pounds. A third, called Sparrow, picks up items from bins and puts them in other containers.

>Proteus, an autonomous mobile robot that operates on the floor, can move carts around a warehouse. The bipedal, humanoid robot Digit is being tested to help move empty totes with its hands. And there’s also Sequoia, a containerized storage system that can present totes to employees in a way that allows them to avoid stretching or squatting to grab inventory.

>Amazon says Robin is currently being used in dozens of warehouses. The others are in a testing stage or haven’t been rolled out widely. But the company says it’s already seeing benefits, such as reducing the time it takes to fulfill orders and helping employees avoid repetitive tasks. However, automation also carries drawbacks [for workers](https://apnews.com/article/056b44f5bfff11208847aa9768f10757), who would have to be retrained for new positions if the robots made their roles obsolete.

Sounds like less mindless jobs and more skilled labor to me. Honestly I hope it prevents some of the injuries that are common in a warehouse environment. Like repetitive stress injuries for example.

It means less money in the economy for us and a drop in the bucket fo jeffr bozos hedge fund

This will kill low / no skill jobs in favor of fewer skilled jobs

So the issue becomes how can you make a skilled job easy enough an unskilled laborer can do it and there is a need for him to do it

I live in the USA on top of that, and education is under attack… So we will keep producing unskilled people looking for jobs

I don’t know why these questions are continually asked. The Economics are extremely simple, and machinery has been around for over 150 years.

If the marginal product of a machine is higher than the marginal product of a laborer, the machine will be employed before the laborer.
