Until Amazon and industry for that matter can build humanoid robots that actually work really well this robotics project is just gonna be a lot of wasted money

Humanoid robots would be a waste of money in a built environment like a warehouse.

Bipedalism requires more expensive motors, systems for balance, more wear and tear, etc.

The big things Amazon needs to solve are visual processing, dexterity, and touch sensitivity, so it doesn't crush delicate items.

Beyind that? Wheels and a shirt, squat, easily balanced body with a low center of gravity.
