Amazon executive: Robotics and automation technologies do not replace human work, but improve its productivity

Larovere, Amazon’s global director of robotics, mechatronics and sustainable packaging, told CNBC’s “Street Signs Europe”:Technology and robots completely replacing human jobs will only exist in fairy tales.".

Amazon said that over the past five years it has spent $751 million (currently about 5.445 billion yuan) to install more than 1,000 new technologies in its European logistics centers, "improving" the productivity of more than 50,000 employees in Europe.

Amazon is aggressively pushing into robotics, announcing two new robots last October: Sequoia, a Roomba-like machine that identifies and stores inventory, reducing order processing time, and Digit, a 5-foot-9, 143-pound robot from Agility Robotics.

Digit has been controversial for its human-like design, as it can walk forward, backward, and sideways, squat and bend, and move, grab, and handle objects with its arm/hand-like clasps.

La Rovere emphasized in the interview that robots are used to helpEmployees perform repetitive tasks, lift heavy objects, and reduce walking distance, and the employees liberated from it,You can learn new skills, acquire new abilities, and gain new capabilities to achieve your career goals.
