[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1089901, member: 32753"] Dude, it's a baby. They are trying to get it to walk. It's got to learn to coordinate its limbs and body with the motions necessary to pick up its rattler before you talk irregs and overweights! But the thing has been born; it is far from perfect now, but before you know it it will be going to grad school at a major hub near you! I have no doubt that the company may never replace all loaders in all facilities; they don't have to. But just have the ability to cut several thousand jobs from the larger hubs who process enough volume to end up saving the company money (in the NY Times article linked to in the post I posted above one company estimates one robot replaces two workers; a machine that'll cost $450,000 to install) could save the company something like $3.5 million in a 20-year career) they'll pursue it.
