>letting one corporation monitor and track your entire shopping history
Will you be shopping at a cashierless Amazon Cuck store?
Have a friend buy it for you???
No, never. I wouldn't trust them not to put chemicals all up in the good they sell.
I don't get why you would put the person on the robot rather than have the person observe and control multiple robot drones.
Putting the numale on top of the robot just makes the robot bigger and slower with payload capacity, plus that's one numale per robot, which doesn't scale well.
I don't ever want to talk to a bored CS rep ever again so yes i will be exclusively shopping at amazon stores.
We have something similar at my school.
Aventi...I think its called. Snacks, sandwiches, drinks, gum, fruit. Even some analgesics. No cashier just walk in get what you want, scan a little key chain thing and done. You "load" the key chain with monies. We have like two nigs total at the school.
The robots are automated, but sometimes they break down, or an event that the robots are not built to handle happens, like something getting stuck in a robot's wheels, which needs a human maintenance worker to solve. The cage clearly seems to function just as a method of safely moving a human through an automated distribution facility, which will be swarming with rapidly moving robots all the size of small priuses and can and likely will kill you if you were to try and walk in there unprotected.
Just by looking at the design, I'm guessing the unfolding bumpers on the front and sides are designed to create a space where other robots will avoid by blocking their sensors, allowing the human maintenance worker to get out at the problem location and unstuck the stuck robot. The cage seems akin to a roll cage, or a shark cage.
so you're saying there are only one or two caged elephants and they're there just to unjam the bots who throw errors? I guess that makes some sense.
wow i cant believe they know im buying toothpaste and qtips time to go dark
Pretty much. I'm guessing the people who would get in them would actually be engineers or mechanics though, and are trained in maintaining industrial robots, and would likely be managing the bot network from some computer terminal in an office nearby when everything is running smoothly, but just hop into the bot-mobile when one of the oversized roombas does something retarded.
Honestly before too long they probably won't even keep the lights on in the warehouse.
