    Ummm, except you didn’t give me examples. Can you post a link to these robots that are actually being tested in real world conditions?

    Or even a link to the $8k robots that are not the same as the one I found for $6k? I have a hard time believing that another $2k is going to somehow provide the difference between that thing, and something functional.

        Lol! The Agility Robotics model used by Amazon costs $250k per unit. And is currently only capable of moving empty totes around in a controlled environment.

        And the Pudu model you linked, is listed on their website for $214k.

            Were you not able to open the link to their website? You can buy one today for $214k. It’s the D9 model from your article.

                Buddy, it’s right there on the page I linked. Even your article says they’re hoping to get the price down to under $30k, at some point. That’s why I looked up their website directly, to see how much they’re currently selling them for. It’s $214k. I don’t know what else to tell you.
