Valcan’s first Amazon robot, he could experience the world with the tip of computers
There are many tasks that robots can easily do. However, others need skills that have not yet dominated. Reproducing strategic sense is one of the greatest challenges in the field of robotics. But this is one of the obstacles that can overcome the Valkan.
As described by Aaron Phance, Amazon Director for Robotics and IA, who led the development of Vallavan, Robots that are commonly used in commercial or industrial occasions do not have a big feeling about the world around them.

In its distribution centers, products are stored in small compartments, which can make the work of traditional robots because they are not capable of human workers.
O Novo Robot This challenge may be confronted with accuracy just like humansSaid Amazon. Thanks to the special tool at the tip of your arm, along with a set of sensors, how much pressure it will be, Can remove or pack items without damaging the vulcan compartments.
In the future, Amazon hopes to implement the vulleon in the United States and the distribution centers in Europe. “Our focus is expanding this technology throughout our network, improving operational efficiency, increasing security in the workplace and reducing the amount of physically demanding tasks,” said Aaron Parnace.
