From automatically guided vehicles (AGVs) to robotic drive units (RDUs), warehouse operations have advanced apace in recent decades. Jesse LeCavalier – Assistant Professor of Architecture at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, and Daniel Rose Visiting Assistant Professor at the Yale School of Architecture in New Haven, Connecticut – recounts the development of the latest generation of adaptive, environment‐reconfiguring machines, such as those created by Kiva Systems and its successor Amazon Robotics, and discusses their effect on architecture itself.
