Should invest to improve Amazon worker productivity such as better tools to do their job. This robot looks like R&D waste.

Well NO actually they did not say that, the actual report is they created these huge robots to perform Warehouse tasks. It's the media that's hyping it as the human replacements. Which that's all Amazon wants, to put the human employees and future employees on notice that they are replaceable.
I don't think these robots will ever do it, but let take a look at the video and see if you can spot what's wrong with this idea.

Besides it just being a 20 second video, and in spite of the human over there very slowly feeding the tubs on the conveyor belt. The tubs don't even look like they have much of a load. Those Robots looks flimsy and clumsy, why do they need headlights on their eyes? The whole operation there looked slow and feeble. That was 20 seconds of a robot hobbling to a table, then hobbling back.
