Chinese firm halves worker costs by hiring army of robots to sort out 200,000 packages a day

Chinese firm halves worker costs by hiring army of robots to sort out 200,000 packages a day:

The machines are cheaper than human workers and are also more efficient and accurate in sorting out parcels, spokesman says

A viral video showing an army of little orange robots sorting out packages in a warehouse in eastern China is the latest example of how machines are increasingly taking over menial factory work on the mainland.

The behind-the-scenes footage of the self-charging robot army in a sorting centre of Chinese delivery powerhouse Shentong (STO) Express was shared on People’s Daily’s social media accounts on Sunday.
