Massachusetts is now the home of some of Amazon’s newest employees, and they aren’t even human.

Amazon’s newly-opened Westborough BOS27 robotics facility is designed to speed up the delivery process for customers. It’s at BOS27 where the robots are designed, made and tested. Combined with North Reading’s facility, Amazon Robotics has produced more than half a million robots, Amazon Robotics vice president Scott Dresser told NECN.
