Amazon Adds 10,000 Robots to Work Force

Amazon expects to add 10,000 robot workers to its warehouses by the end of the year, according to CNN. While robots are not new to Amazon -- it already uses 1,000 robots in its fulfillment centers -- it would mark a ten-fold jump in non-organic employees. The robots are manufactured by Kiva Systems, which Amazon purchased two years ago for $775 million .
