Can i fuck the bot? Otherwise its irrelevant.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Announced amid a deluge of news at this week’s Delivering the Future event in Seattle was word that Amazon will begin testing Agility’s Digit in a move that could bring the bipedal robot to its nationwide fulfillment centers.

While being included in the fund doesn’t guarantee that Amazon will utilize your technology down the road, it’s a pretty clear indicator that the retail giant is — at the very least — interested in its potential.

“The Innovation Fund is really about exploring what’s possible out there,” Amazon Robotics chief technologist Tye Brady told me in an interview this week.

For one thing, the company has turned up the pressure for the competition to automate in order to meet growing customer expectations of same- and next-day deliveries.

For another, the decision to stop supporting Kiva customers outside the Amazon ecosystem led directly to the foundation of some of the industry’s biggest names, including Locus Robotics and 6 River Systems.

Much like the Kiva Systems have proven a major catalyst for AMRs, if Amazon successfully rolls out Digit at scale, suddenly everyone will want to get their hands on some humanoid workers.
