[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1014123, member: 249"] I'd imagine the technology for that robot still needs to mature some and the price of implementation needs to come down. Right now UPS is filling those unloading positions for $8.50/hr. in most states with no benefits and somehow my guess is that robot probably costs more per hour to operate when you consider the millions in implantation costs, maintenance, etc. If the starting part time wage goes up drastically I would expect them to begin looking heavily at these robots, but not until then.
