To reduce the need for employees to reach up, bend down, or climb ladders when retrieving items, Amazon has been developing a robotic system that delivers products to employees in a more ergonomically friendly manner.

This is an inside look at one of Amazon’s flight-testing facilities, located in Oregon. Here, a dedicated team of experts in safety, aerospace, science, robotics, software, hardware, testing, and manufacturing come together to build a safe and scalable system.

The model was hugely successful to begin with, providing consumers with fast alternatives to masking up and heading to their closest grocery store or battling with others to claim a delivery slot at one of the country’s largest supermarkets.

The demonstration used at least two Vision 60 Q-UGVs, or "robot dogs," built by Ghost Robotics and took place at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on July 27 and 28.

The Tortoise robots work like automated vending machines that can drive to a shopper's vehicle. Once shoppers tap and pay with a credit card, the lid opens so they can grab their item.
