- In Ocado's grocery warehouses, thousands of mechanical boxes move on the Hive. Are they all individual robots? Or is this one giant hive mind? • Thanks to Ocado: www.ocadogroup.com/technology... (this video is not sponsored, and they had no editorial control).

Just to be clear, this video isn't sponsored! I've wanted to do a video about group vs individual for a while, so this worked really well. Ocado invited me for a warehouse tour, but I've not been paid a penny, and they had zero editorial control over the final video.

just 20 years ago this would be a scene in a sci-fi movie
I visited a facility in Norway with these installed in 2007 or so. They had already existed a few years by then. So sci-fi 20 years ago? Might be. 15 years ago? Not so much.
@@Mirandur are those things really 15 years old and i hear about them just now?
Those things can be in a sci-fi movie even now
From the AutoStore (the system I saw, which is very similar to the one shown here) webpages, their robots of this kind was actually prototyped in the late 90's... They're more than two decades old.

Actually. China started to use it more than ten years ago.

Why are Kinects so good at doing anything but the thing they were designed for
Microsoft invented a tool and put it to use as a toy.
HAHAH
because the hardware in the kinect is insane for its price. it was also just a software issue.
Kinects are cheap and fairly accurate for such tasks
@@GudieveNing it's not that they were ruined... it's just that the general public is largely an uncontrolled environment. that's why in a scenario such as this, it works just fine because it's a controlled environment. in an uncontrolled environment, it's trying to figure out what the hell it's looking at, it has different sized people, with different clothes which aren't all the same in environments with all sorts of random objects that reflect the IR dots in different ways... and on top of it all? expectations. Real world use by customers have the expectation of zero fail. In this environment, you'd potentially have a failed pick. a QC/audit would notice some issues and be resolved, some failures would show up on delivery and be resolved through receipt correction. you can't resolve a real time issue in the same way. once it's wrong, it's wrong and it has failed. Kinect as a gameplay device would require complete consistency to be considered working flawlessly. Here? It just needs to be mostly right and the task will likely still be completed 99.999% of the time.
im a maintenance engineer in the food industry and i can't even begin to imagine the ball ache for their maintenance engineers haha. simple idea but mind blowing technology
Fascinating thing is, that this system is already a bit "old", because it must have taken several years to design and build this thing.
You could easily make it more efficient in several ways, but idk how
A system of that size would take about 1-2 years to fully install at the capacity pictured these days.

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 well, for example, letting the robots travel diagonally.
@@aceman0000099 That may increase the complexity of the system to a point that it is no longer efficient. There is probably a good reason the designers of this system didn't go that route.

I’m sorry, since when was a British shopping chain building Skynet?
Most of our larger stores do, DIY chains have been going skynet for years. I was working at the beginings of one in 2008.
Since technology made these types of system cheaper. I noticed the progression of Amazon warehouse is getting more automated by the day. 10 years ago, Amazon used to give their workers an ipad that timed them to navigate throughout the warehouse for specific item on specific aisle. Now, the worker just stand there and a robot will bring the item to them to organized into shipping boxes. This warehouse is just another step beyond the latest changes. Its only a matter of time before they remove human all together and only need 2 workers to keep the place running.
It’s always the quiet ones....
This is a fairly "standardized" type of system by now, I've seen them for almost a decade.
But it stills blows me away and feel like sci-fi...
Ocado never had physical supermarkets. It was built from the beginning to be automated. It was doing well before the pandemic but is doing even better now (I’m a customer and I never intend to step foot in a grocery store again. It’s really convenient, I can plan a whole week, and I’ve saved so much money because I don’t have stupid impulse purchases, or food that goes to waste).

@@bubbledoubletrouble It's not just developers (though it definitely plays a part) -- even if developers DID figure things out better you'd still have to overcome the mainstream consumer threshold. Reach a wide enough audience with an interesting and accessible enough product.
The reality is that most people aren't all that interested in a fully 3D gaming experience, if only because a lot of people straight up do not have adequate free space to properly enjoy it. And if the choice is to move half your living room aside so you can enjoy a game with the 30-60 mins of free time you have to just plop on the couch and play some something straight away the latter is the more appealing option.
VR has the same problem. Even as VR headsets are becoming more accessible to the mainstream audience the fact that you would need free space to play standing up means a lot of people just won't bother.

It's really cool to see a real space designed for robots.

Technically that's how "Remy's Ratatouille Adventure" and "WEB Slingers: A Spiderman Adventure" works.
All the vehicules communicate with eachother, maintain their distances based on a GPS-like tracking system and they can't put themselves out of order at anytime (which is infuriating at WEB because they're all on a rail so you can't park it on the side).
And that's also why sometimes few véhicules can be a little bit out of phase with eachother and bump themselves.
I love that they are literally using an Xbox Kinect as 3D cameras for the robots.
Heard that camera was good for everything except gaming.
It's a fantastic piece of technology! It's just not great for making video games.
At least someone is.
I use a Kinect for VR body tracking. Some animators use them too. They're nifty as hell!
You know an modern IPhone has a Microsoft Kinect crammed in there? 😎😎😎
Shoutouts to the Xbox camera holding this whole operation together.
They're great for 3D imaging because they were designed for it, that's why they're used in many projects which require depth perception
XD lmfao when i saw that hahahhhaha
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed it
Timestamp? I primarily listen not watch but I'd love to see this.

Finally, The Borg origin story is explained.
@0:12 there is a robot fallen over in upper left! No wonder they have gone up in flames so often!!🤣🤣
I never would have caught that. You’re the MVP thank you
We've gone too far when the robots are using Xboxes to determine the softness of my Fritos bag.
Not really. They just have to consider what products can be packed by which arm before they use a robot and the software that is meant to recognise the product has to be able to determine its orientation so that you can properly grab it. The robot does not have to determine stiffness or weight.

@@zrider100z I have to say though, it seems like an absolutely insane waste of resources to install this level of automation in a grocery store.
Grocery store yes, but its a system for "assembly and pack" for stuff ordered through the net. I can see the idea of robots moving stuff from one box to another being better than forcing human employees to walk around the shop for each client. Cuts on time dramatically I suppose.

They stop, we starve, they win.

This is probably a good demonstration that, if we do go down the path of self driving cars, they all have to be self driving, not just some. Eliminate the human element and that will reduce the risk of accidents and, at the same time, improve traffic flow.
I don’t wanna be apart of this society, just go to the grocery store
I don't know why, but I wish this company would put up a 24/7 live camera feed of their bots just moving groceries in the warehouse, posted on youtube. That would be mesmerising to watch
edit : aight I just want to clarify that when I meant a 24/7 live camera feed, I meant ONLY the bots moving around, possibly from a POV similar to the thumbnail. No one can see any products the bots are moving unless they have specific information of what is stored in each cell, in that case they wouldn't need to watch a youtube livestream if they have information that detailed.
It might be considered a privacy invasion though, because with enough time someone could guess the products the customers are ordering with statistical analysis, I think.
@@HassanSelim0 it won't be any different than placing a camera on a busy intersection in NY - no one will pay attention to an individual thing if there's that many of them. Or watching an ant colony, it would take a lot of pointless dedication to track and understand every movement of a single ant.
Edit: spelling
@@HassanSelim0 Well, I was thinking of a CCTV live feed kinda video. Look at the baskets/containers they use in the video. Its so deep you can't even see what the robots are picking up/dumping, as its mostly covered by the robot itself anyways. They even said the carts go 20 layers deep.
@@HassanSelim0 how would that be bad ?
@@HassanSelim0 ... But you wouldn't have any clue who the customers are as that data isn't included with a camera feed of robots packing groceries.
It wouldn't be any different from just seeing the results of a scientific study. No names are included, heck, it's more anonymous since those usually include breakdowns of age, sex, personal beliefs, and more.
General government census data that's public record is more personal and private than what groceries are ordered by unknown parties at a robot packing warehouse.
