Robot Shipping Your Amazon Orders

Amazon logos that shows a smile shape but is actually pointing A to Z means they are sell everything. 

As we know that Amazon has been established long time ago by selling books only. But now in the 2015 we can find and purchase a lot of stuff including apparels, home appliances, jewelry and many more. Amazon is like one of the shopping complex in the internet that make people go for a shopping only by seating on their chair, click one button and the stuff will be arrive to her immediately. Thus, I wondering how Amazon could cater all order around the world. As I do some research through google I found out that other than they use manpower they also use a Robots which is made by KIVA SYSTEM.  This Robots has been purchase by Amazon about $775 million in 2012 for them to cater and handle worldwide order every second as well as they can better handle all the shelves. The Robots can carry the shelves that contains the goods out of storage and bring them to the employee
The Robots made by Kiva System
Millions of shelves contain goods that will be carry by the Robot
All the Robot are working a long the highway without bump into each other
The floor are design with pattern to make the Robot can control by system
The Robot will bring the shelves to the employee and the employee will pack the goods for delivery to the customer

This existing of Kiva Robots will eliminate the "not fun picking up stuff" because Amazon has a lot of good being sell so is not easy for the employee to find the goods in split second. It make the employee work more easier and Amazon could cater a lot of order in one day. 

Empty shelves will be brought by the Robots to the back of the store and the Robots will go and charged itself and other shelves will be carried out by other Robots.
