All,

Got to keep your various robot suppliers and their various creations and various and sundry partners sorted out

 Amazon Robotics [the former Kiva] is a direct competitor with Boston Dynamics' "Handle" a robot on wheels with a kind of "elephant trunk" with octopus suckers which is their entry for packing/unpacking shipments and its successor Stretch™ [Mobile, automated case handling for more efficient warehouse operations] -- I'd doubt that Amazon would be buying from BD

or from Locus Robotics [Locus Robotics designs and builds innovative, autonomous robots that work collaboratively alongside workers. We help workers pick 2x-5x faster, with near-100% accuracy, and less labor compared to traditional picking systems. You can simply pick faster!]    

or RightHand Robotics [a leader in providing robotic piece-picking solutions that improve performance and efficiency in e-commerce order fulfillment and intralogistics. Its RightPick product platform is a software-driven hardware-enabled solution that handles the core task of picking and placing individual items as part of a wide range of workflows].

for that matter

Ted

So now our Amazon packages can be thrown and dropped just like at the post office!

Barry,

It time for Bob Kraft to take effective action -- I suggest a couple of Atlas robots should be drafted for the Patriots
