The company this post is referring to doesn't have bots moving around a warehouse designed for humans. They built a whole building with shelves and space designed for the robots.
I promise you, the throughout is tremendously higher than humans alone. The bots can get up to roughly 45mph in a few seconds and break to a full stop in the same amount of time. I know this because I work in this space, the system is fast
And it actually works? They can't even figure out how to make vending machines that don't cause a log-jam.
Yep it works. When it's running one of these things can push, not joking, millions of cases through a single warehouse a day.
