Year 5 considered the Picture News question this week:
Are there some jobs a robot could never do?
A new robot called Digit is being tested in warehouses for the online retailer, Amazon. The robot is in its first few weeks of trials at Amazon’s facility in Seattle, USA, as the company tries to improve automation in its processes.
