Amazon Is on the Cusp of Using More Robots Than Humans in Its Warehouses

"The automation of http://Amazon.com facilities is approaching a new milestone: There will soon be as many robots as humans.
The e-commerce giant, which has spent years automating tasks previously done by humans in its facilities, has deployed more than one million robots in those workplaces, Amazon said. That is the most it has ever had and near the count of human workers at the facilities.
...
Warehouse Worker Resource Center, a nonprofit that advocates on the behalf of warehouse employees, said robotics haven’t changed jobs as much in smaller Amazon sites as in large fulfillment centers to date.
Yet Kaoosji expressed concern about the longer-term impact on employment. The company’s “dream is to have significant reduction of workforce in high-density facilities,” he said."
