Abstract
The introduction of the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) has demonstrated a shift in the role of automated machinery in industrial settings. The unique decision making and complex computing of AMRs make them drastically unique compared to prior industrial technology. The human robot relationship and labor roles of both the human worker and robot are effected with this introduction and adoption of symbiotic techno-human workplaces. This analysis identifies that the consequences of AMR integration are as much organizational as they are technological and that the integration process of AMRs plays a critical role in shaping labor roles.
