The robots –nicknamed Bert, Ernie, Kermit and Scooter — can pick up boxes and move them throughout the vast facilities “to reduce the need for employees to reach up or bend down when retrieving items — and thus limit more strenuous movements,” according to [URL='https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/innovation-at-amazon/new-technologies-to-improve-amazon-employee-safety']a blog [/URL]post Amazon posted on Sunday. Ernie, for one, will take boxes off of a shelf with a robotic arm to deliver it to employees, so they can “remain in a more comfortable, stable and ergonomically friendly position,” according to the post.
