There are more than 750,000 robots that sort, lift, and carry packages
Since Amazon Robotics was founded in 2012, we’ve developed, produced, and deployed more than 750,000 robots across our operations network.
The goal of robotics technology within our operations is simple: pair employees with the right technology to make their workday safer, easier, and more productive—while helping us deliver packages to customers faster than ever.
We’ve taken robotics technology to the next level with the launch of our state-of-the-art fulfillment center in Shreveport, Louisiana. Equipped with the latest innovations, this site uses eight different robotics systems that work in harmony to support package fulfillment and delivery.
Additionally, these robots use Amazon Web Services cloud computing technology to operate more efficiently by storing and processing rich data generated by sensors, cameras, and machine processes. We plan to scale these robotics systems to existing facilities across the network.

DO YOU THINK WE REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR ROBOTS AMAZON AS YOU ARE STEALING HAND OVER FIST FROM YOUR 3P SELLERS INVENTORY - HOW ABOUT LOOKING AT YOUR PROCESSES AND DETERMINING WHY THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU ARE STEALING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF PRODUCTS FROM 3P SELLERS AND WE ARE BEYOND SICK OF IT. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND YOU OUGHT TO BE SUED BEYOND BELIEF. SENT 64 ITEMS, YOU CHECKED IN 1 AND CLOSED THE SHIPMENT. SENT 203 ITEMS, YOU CHECKED IN 165 AND CLOSED THE SHIPMENT. SENT 148 ITEMS, YOU CHECKED IN 95 AND CLOSED THE SHIPMENT. THESE 3 ARE WITHIN 2 WEEKS - NOT EVEN INCLUDING ALL THE OTHERS OF THE MONTH THAT WERE SHORTED. YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS. THE GOVERNMENT, IRS, AND FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM ME ON THIS MATTER BECAUSE THIS IS FLAT OUT STEALING AND AN OUTRAGE. FIX YOUR PROCESS!!!!!! YOU DEMAND ALL 3P SELLERS JUMP THRU YOUR STUPID POLICIES AND HOOPS - HOW ABOUT YOU DO THE SAME FOR US......YOUR SUPPOSED PARTNERS. YOU MAKE ME SICK.

What's your point?
How about focusing on fixing on some of the issues that we are all being faced, dealing with Amazon?
- "Missing" Inventory
- Cases open for 90+ days
- Short-changing on reimbursements
- Mis-categorizing items, in order to squeeze out higher referral fees
- Dealing with cases being answered either by AI or by outsourced copy-and-paster's, that do not solve anything.
- Non-stop returns abuse by Amazon Customers
- Amazon Charging Return Processing fees, on orders that were delivered late by Amazon, and then returned due to Order not received by delivery date.
- FBA delaying processing inbound shipments for 6+ weeks
- Paying placement fees, and then Amazon redistributing shipment to other locations tying up inventory for several weeks.

Unable to come up with any good ideas of their own. except for how to take more money from sellers.
In March 2012, Amazon.com acquired Kiva Systems a USA Based Corporation for US$775 million. At the time, this was Amazon's second-largest acquisition in its history.[9]

when will you invent a robot that can do simple counting? Or one that doesn't relabel our inventory incorrectly and without reason?

and when the robots have no clue b/c the programmers don't either - is that the excuse for the posts on the forums for lost/damaged and general F-ups??
