It's interesting how Amazon is embedding robots in human-designed warehouses whereas Ocado has humans overseeing a robotic warehouse.

The later is a much easier problem.

I just watched a video of theirs and i have no clue at all if this is more efficient or not.

Amazon uses a lot higher stacked spaces than Ocado does.

Are there any real numbers you can reference than just stating that Ocados way is better?

I didn't say it was better, I said it was easier to design robots that don't have to work in an environment originally designed for humans.
