Kiva Warehouse Robotics (History Channel)

Kiva Systems: A Robotic System for Automagically Fulfilling Orders in Warehouses

When an order is received, a bunch of robots come into action, gathering various bins which hold the items needed to fulfill an order, somewhere in the warehouse, right up to the human operator, who collects the items he/she needs and the robots then go back and recharged themselves.

All of this is done autonomously. Remarkable!

@igon5150 It's great! Nobody wants to work in a warehouse. The more automation the better, the more automation = less price of good, to the eventual price is negligible.
