Robots: Warehouse Robots
     


Imagine a warehouse floor with rows upon rows of square, man-high racks.
Now add 200 autonomous robots, scurrying about, picking up racks and
moving them around. That's Kiva Systems, reinventing the warehouse so
workers won't come to find goods but goods move to find workers. In the
latest Robots podcast
interview Raffaello
D'Andrea, professor at ETH
Zurich and founding member of Kiva Systems, takes us behind the
scenes of the Kiva robots. Also in this episode: the second quarter of
sci-fi author Jack Graham's
"Selkies".
