Amazon is using humanoid robots in its US warehouses as part of its latest trial to automate more of its operations.<br /><br />The company said it was testing a new robot called Digit in one of its warehouses near Seattle.<br /><br />Digit has arms and legs and can move and handle items in a similar way to a person and can carry up to 35 kilograms.<br /><br />The robot can take over some of the carrying and collecting, meaning humans will not have to lift as much - but this launch of Digit comes as fears rise that artificial intelligence and robotic automation could replace millions of jobs in offices and factories.<br /><br />We spoke to people in Manchester to find out what they think about this trial and whether the progress of AI is something they are concerned about.
