Meet little bots that could one day take your job (Video)

A team of cute robots have become the hardest workers at one of China’s largest courier firms and could one day come after your job.

The orange machines, each 7.5 inches (19cm) tall, took their posts at STO Express last November.

These ‘Little Orange’ robots follows a pre-set route and carries parcels from the assembly line to the corresponding departure gates for them to be sent to different parts of the world.

In STO Express’s warehouse in Linyi, Shandong Province, 300 ‘Little Orange’ robots work together to sort 20,000 parcels an hour.

Compared to the traditional sorting method, these self-charging robots help the company save 70 per cent of manpower in the 21,000-square-foot warehouse.

The adorable workers are developed by HIKVISION, a Chinese digital technology company based in Hangzhou. They’re officially known as the HIKVISION intelligent sorting robots.
