Amazon has rolled out new robots, called Vulcan, which are able to "feel" with a human-like touch and can take over intricate tasks such as picking and packing from warehouse workers.

Amazon's latest Vulcan robot is the company's first system that can sense touch, enabling it to handle a wider selection of oddly shaped items.

Vulcan, a robot with tactile senses, is a step toward automating more of picking and stowing work done by humans inside Amazon’s fulfillment centers.
