Amazon's new robot should strike fear into its hundreds of thousands of warehouse workers

"What do you call a robotic arm that relies on computer vision, artificial intelligence, and suction cups to pick up items?

In Amazon's world, it's called a "Sparrow."

The tech giant unveiled a robot on Thursday that's capable of identifying individual items that vary in shape, size, and texture. Sparrow can also pick these up via the suction cups attached to its surface and place them into separate plastic crates.

Sparrow is the first robot Amazon has revealed of its kind and it has the potential to wipe out significant numbers of the company's warehouse workers.

The arm can identify approximately 65% of Amazon's inventory, the company told CNBC. Until now, this sort of sophisticated identification has been reserved for the company's human employees."
