Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
Amazon has unveiled the second generation of its Proteus warehouse robot. While the external design remains unchanged from the previous model (autonomously transporting trolleys up to 400 kg), two key innovations are introduced: (1) the robot's application area has expanded beyond the loading ramp to broader warehouse use, and (2) the system now understands natural language, allowing for more intuitive human-robot interaction.
