Overview
The Drive Unit is a mobile robot used by Amazon for automating its warehouses. It carries heavy shelves of inventory on its back, capable of operating autonomously in groups of hundreds with a decentralized software architecture. The robot can lift about 450 kg (1,000 lb) and features downward-facing and upward-facing cameras for reading barcodes, infrared sensors, and collision-detection bumpers.
