Logistics company FedEx is reportedly increasing its robotics operations to see off the challenge from Amazon, according to the New York Times.
The company has been testing a number of robotic vehicles in its warehouses since last year and is said to be ready to take the next step.
FedEx is said to be partnering with Vecna, a supplier of logistics robots, to automate its warehouses and take the load off human employees.
FedEx also seems to be employing Savioke robots (unit in main picture) for work in the repair and maintenance department.
