KIVA Robots Continue to Conquer Warehouses

Pay special attention to the demo. Note that the human component filling orders in this warehouse need not be literate, need not be numerate, need only about an 80 IQ in order to function — the only reason there’s a human involved at all is because equipment of comparable flexibility would cost more than the minimum wage required for an adequate human.
This reminds me of a number of science-fiction dystopias I’ve run across.
