Economies of scale
The R&D is spent
The manufacturing is the easy part. I’m sure that a robot can be manufactured to cost the price of a Tesla. It comes down to software anyways. Don’t get it twisted
Amazon replaced 100k ppl with 750k robots 👀

Amazon Grows To Over 750,000 Robots As World's Second-Largest Private Employer Replaces Over 100,000 Humans
Amazon.com Inc. is rapidly advancing its use of robotics, deploying over 750,000 robots to work alongside its employees. The world's second-largest private employer employs 1.5 million people. While that's a lot, it's a decrease of over 100,000 employees from the 1.6 million workers it had in...

blathering blatherskite!
I’m siding with the robots 
Im sure it can too at some point. But right now it's not. And it won't be for a long time
That's the problem with the robot/AI fear mongering. It's all based on what ifs and worst case scenarios about shyt that's nowhere close to applicable

I can't confirm the amount they spent or how many they bought, but they absolutely have hybrid human/robot warehouses. And they definitely don't cost a million a piece. Depending on the type of robot they are anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 a piece and have anywhere from a 3 to 15 year lifespan, with a 3-5 year ROI. They come in all shapes, sizes, tasks, and duration they can perform.
I know the costs, because I'm intertwined in my companies warehouse operations and I've personally talked to multiple robot manufacturers and seen the bids.
Let's not speak on feelings and emotions.
Warehouse Automation Costs are Falling
JLL reported popular technology prices falling to $10,900 in 2025 from $27,000 in 2017.
Think it's a game if you want.

I mean, it's easily Googlable.
But I guess BBC, CNBC, and Amazon News are bad sources for information on this.

I know Amazon is stupid massive but that's gotta be at least 10 % of their workforce
