Amazon is hoping to grab grocery dollars away from its rivals by enabling consumers to get all their shopping done in a single trip.

Amazon says that it is launching a new warehouse with ten times as many robots. The company has been gradually increasing the amount and complexity of the robotic systems involved in sending out customers’ packages – and now says that is launching “next-generation” warehouses built on new systems.

Amazon has unveiled its “next generation” of artificial intelligence and robotic-powered warehouses that it says will slash delivery times – and the cost to process those deliveries – by 25 per cent.
