Taking orders 

I used to work in the field of warehousing.

It was a grocery chain store, so order picking was oriented to a store order selecting from a huge inventory of items.

Recently I saw the new bots that are used at Amazon and was fascinated by the simple sophistication of these devices.

I could watch this for a long time.

I like the way they use all directions of action. The pod platform turns as does the pod itself. Watch it.

It effectively carries a shelf with just the right stuff in the right place so that the order fillers only have to reach for an item to fill the customer order.
