Amazon warehouse robot count exceeds 1 million, human employees surpass 1.5 million

Amazon's warehouse robot count has exceeded 1 million, and the company is further expanding production and deployment, while employing more than 1.5 million full-time and part-time workers. IT Home, citing an Ars Technica report, noted that a study published in ILR Review in April 2025 found that serious injuries at Amazon's robot warehouses were 40% lower than at traditional warehouses, but minor injuries related to repetitive motion increased by 77%. Labor groups, citing government injury data from 2017 to 2020, argue that injury rates are higher at robot warehouses.
