Robotic Tech Vest, or RTV for short, was launched in early 2019. Amazon has begun rolling out the device to more than 25 of its locations, which can alert robots to the location of workers within the facility in order to prevent workplace accidents.
effect From the outside, the robotics vest actually looks more like a pair of suspenders tied to an electronic device belt. It is mainly designed to protect workers when they need to enter a space to repair a robotic system or retrieve a dropped item. The vest has built-in sensors that allow Amazon's robots to detect obstacles (in this case, humans) and bypass them.
User Group At least 25 different Amazon regions have begun using RTV.
