Amazon develops a warehouse robot workers can speak to

Amazon has announced a new version of its warehouse robot, Proteus, which can interact using natural language instead of code. This update is part of the company's shift towards automation, where robots are replacing human workers. Employees can now direct the robots through verbal commands, simplifying the workflow compared to previous specialized software. Amazon continues to enhance its robots' capabilities, with Proteus designed to transport heavy items within warehouses. The new language interaction allows employees to guide the robots as if speaking to colleagues, marking a significant change in logistics management.
