This is the best summary I could come up with:


Amazon is experimenting with a humanoid robot as the technology company increasingly seeks to automate its warehouses.

The company’s ambitious drive to integrate robotics across its sprawling operation has sparked fears about the effect on its ​workforce of almost 1​.5​ million human​s.

Insisting that people are “irreplaceable” in the company’s operation, Brady pushed back at the suggestion it could one day have a fully automated warehouse.

Digit was developed by Agility Robotics, a startup based in Corvallis, Oregon, and backed by Amazon.

Amazon plans to put Digit to work “in spaces and corners of warehouses in novel ways”, it said in a blogpost.

Separately at Wednesday’s event, Amazon announced it was deploying a robotic system called Sequoia at one of its Houston warehouses in an effort to speed up deliveries.
