Similar to the technology in its Amazon Go stores, Amazon Robotics Identification uses computer vision and machine learning to automate package scanning.
“In fulfillment centers, this scanning is currently manual—an item arrives at a workstation, the package is picked from a bin by an employee, and using a hand scanner, the employee finds the bar code and hand-scans the item,” explained the company.
AR ID uses a camera that runs at 120 frames per second, freeing up employees’ hands to simply position the package. “The technology does its job in the background,” said Amazon.
