Decryption: A pizza revolution triggered by robots

Long ago, people were guessing that in the future we might see biped or quadruped robots delivering pizza. This enthusiasm for speculation was ignited by Google’s acquisition of Boston Dynamics. Boston Dynamics is a military-based company. The Big Dog, a bionic quadruped robot developed by the company, has given the company a small name in the industry. Big Dog's body size is similar to that of a large dog and can play an important role on the battlefield. It is also one of the most practical robots in the robot field.

Google and its parent company hope to apply this technology to people's daily lives. In 2015, Google management hopes to develop consumer robots that will be listed in the short-term, but the Boston Dynamics team does not want to do so, and even refuses to communicate with management. Google has set a timetable for the commercialization of this product to this sector, which has become the trigger for the deadlock between the two parties. In March of this year, there was news of Google selling Boston Dynamics.

Closer to home, we must now consider the development of the robot route. Many people expect to see more human-like bionic quadruped robots. So, what about wheel-type robots or drones with cargo capacity that can ship goods? Although these are still in the initial stage of R&D, they will definitely be more mature in the future. In fact, there are already some companies that use innovative technologies to fulfill human desires. From drones to chat bots, to Rover vehicles and unicycle robots, these big players in the industry are constantly forming their own competitive advantage.

Robots have been applied to the logistics field, but these "work behind the scenes" may not be seen unless you work as a delivery person at the customer warehouse.

In 2012, Amazon acquired the Kiva system. Compared to Alphabet’s acquisition of Boston Power, this news did not attract much attention. In 2015 it was renamed Amazon Robotics and started to be used within the company. This operating system solves the worries of the workers around the machine every day. In 2014, Amazon introduced Locus Robotics, a robot picking assistant based on its own LocusBot warehouse system, to more accurately identify and deliver goods to customers.

In this way, the efficiency of automated robots is greatly improved over manual efficiency. Some robots remove the items from the shelves, others have a touch screen, and move quickly in the warehouse. The goal of all these robots is to deliver goods to consumers as quickly as possible while saving costs for retailers. According to a patent presentation released by Amazon last month, the robots of the company's logistics system can not only identify the types of goods more intelligently, but also because they are gliding on the floor of the warehouse, and the warehouse floor is set with an embedded grid. This will ensure that the robot will not deviate from the designated rotation area, thus preventing collision accidents.

Not only that, Kiva let the shelves "go" to the picker, which reduces a lot of unnecessary labor and makes the entire logistics process more automated. They will also select goods by computer and send them to the staff responsible for packaging at the next stage. Although the packaging process still needs manpower to complete, the error rate of this process will be reduced. Big data support makes warehouses more efficient, robots are guided to the nearest shelf, and the most used shelves are placed next to the packing station. These mechanisms of the system allow Amazon to handle large volumes of goods more easily and reduce the amount of labor for employees on the premise of ensuring shipments.

Of course, these robots will not always follow you to the door, but their witty performance in the warehouse will also reduce the time you receive the goods and improve the efficiency of logistics.

In fact, big data analysis capabilities and machine learning algorithms are maximizing the efficiency of robots and accelerating the process of logistics automation. Whether it is in the warehouse or in transit, this robot is a human helper.
